I have done one mistake I was jobless for nearly 5 years and then i got the one , there i told that i was doing some job and everyone believes me also , so whenever interacting with anyone the topic arises and find it uncomfortable to misguide myself and others again and again so i started ignoring people around me and avoided every interaction now. Its all superficial and i feel left out of the group Can you provide a way out to this problem? Thanks for the video This is the exact replica of me
Man… this one really hit me hard. By the end of it I wanted to cry. I felt like I was watching a recap of my own life over the past year and realized how much of a negative attitude I’ve adopted about everything. So well done. Thanks Joey
Dude i used to watch this guys self help non procrastination videos thinking something is wrong w me to fix. Then i got a over 100k job and im like totally normal hardworking gym when i wake up.. so really i just didnt have a job and was bored drinking. Its amazing how like u can try all u want but it still feels pointless and its so easy to just be lazy until ur gettin paid and the light switch flips and u naturally become a machine. I guess thats what he does... tries to inspire people who have nothing. It didnt work for me.. i just kept listening to the stuff thinking how good it sounded. Hah
First step to change is awareness. Good on ya for noticing your bad traits. Start working on them man one at a time at a pace your comfortable with. 💪🏼
This is so powerful. The funny thing is, telling someone how TO ruin their life as if they should do it is actually more powerful and shocking than telling them how NOT to. A genius idea, presented with exceptional footage.
Opposite of the video: 1. Eye contact. Friendly. Open to talking to new people. Head up. Someone people can talk to and trust. 2. Less phone. 3. Show up on time. Good time management. 4. Don’t make excuses. Own up to your mistakes. Learn from them. 5. Take responsibility. Take control. You are in charge of your own success. 6. Share the spotlight. Ask others how they’re doing and what they think. Don’t be a narcissist. 7. Talk about others in a positive light. Glass half full energy. 8. Don’t shape shift. Do what you say you will do. Keep the same energy. Be authentic. Stick to your morals, values, etc. 9. Don’t wish. Plan to set things into action. Work towards your goals. Make the change that you want to see happen. You control your own destiny. Don’t wait. 10. Grow. Engage in behaviors that make you strong. Good habits. Take the path with more resistance to grow. What’s bad for you is bad. What’s good for you is good. 11. Have hope. Never give into despair. You are worthy of redemption. Your flaws are forgivable. Accept your own forgiveness. You are capable of change. No one is fundamentally bad or good. You can change. Humans tend to act on what they believe they are. If you think you are confident, strong, worthy you will continue working towards achieving that. And having a good life. You are still young and can change for the better. There are always second chances. Try until you succeed.
@AustinNightEyes I think you didn't understood the video The video presents itself in a sarcastic way like the title itself is "how to ruin your life". As the above comment that in which he says what we should do is the same thing the video is sharing with us. Just in a different way. Our minds are a little too absurd because we will do what others tell us not to. This video uses the same way. It is called reversed mentality or something like that. Thanks.
I can only really relate to the first two points but I’m autistic and have bad social anxiety so it’s hard to change this but I’m trying either way People might not be as bad as I thought and I’ve met someone I really want to be friends with and he deserves great friends that’s why I’m trying to improve myself, to be great for him
The Ad snapped me back into reality..... I felt a deep feeling of regret for what has been happening for so long, thank god for the ad.... and this video.
For a long time, I always thought "I never planned to be here." Only now to realize that is the exact reason I am where I never wanted to be. The plan that I chose was "Not planning at all". Procrastination, destructive habits, pointless daydreaming, etc are the things that got me here. Inaction paired with negative self-talk is a genuine slow death.
So that's why sometimes I thought to myself, "I don't wanna die" even though I don't have serious health issues or anything. I didn't realized that I am slowly dying and my inner self told me not to, wanting me to stop my way of life.
What got me here was 2020 lockdowns, it destroyed my business. An event that happens once every 100 years destroyed my life. Ye buddy, some of us are destined to fail and it's none of our fault. Even when you try your hardest, it's not guaranteed success. So, do whatever, life happens with or without us, so are we necessary? The harsh truth is, no.
I’m 19 and in my second year of college, i have no idea what to do in life and I feel extremely stressed knowing that I have to pick a career. I do a lot of these things; closing my body language, avoiding interaction with others, isolating myself… etc. Viewing this video is like the creator is describing me, which makes me feel horrible but it helps in making me realize that I do want to change instead of just fantasizing. Commenting this on a youtube video is easier than talking about it with friends, more specifically my 3 friends. I feel lost in life but I have many things to be grateful for; a loving family, a home.
Wow you sound like me, even being 19 and having 3 friends lol. Career stuff is so stressful. I have no idea what I’m doing or what to pick. Do you have any goals?
@@newleaf777I can relate to this aswell, being 19 almost turning 20 and having no idea of who I want to be or where I want to go in my life. I feel like everyday I waste time because I just think about what not to do and what to do and it frustrates me. I’ve never felt so socially isolated and everything for me is going downhill. In any way you can think about I have lost hope for my future. I have no one else to blame but me😢
I pass my bachelor exam when i was 29, coz since i was 19 i choose many different paths, i though i wanna study this or that, and when i fucked up the first one i found a job, simple one that gave possibility to cut of from my parents(financially). It changed me, gave me some courage that i didn't expected i had inside. Don't be too hard on yourself. I finish environmental studies and now i work as Linux admin, so as you can imagine, my 10y journey with 4 different field of studies(i finished one) didn't give me perfect job maybe i wanted at the beginning. One little lucky detail made me who im am now(at work). Do i have still problems with what i want in life? Yes. Do i struggle with some problems(bigger or smaller)? Ofc. Like many ppl. But i think i would never take this time back and i'm 37 now. Ask questions, let yourself make mistakes. And, if you have possibility to ask specialist, like psychologist, don't be afraid. Sometimes short conversation with "stranger" is better than with best friend, they don't know you, they don't judge, they want to help. Hope i didn't make it worse :) Have a great time, be yourself, all the best for you.
At 19 I thought my only prospect was working retail. I left high school with no qualifications and took an entry course at community college in admin and finance. 5 years later I met my friend who got me a interview for an assistant role at an accounting firm, and I instead got offered a management role. I am now 26 and have a new born and a wife. I think the most important thing to remember is you are working to better yourself in life,not for a job. Push yourself to make friends and see family. Life happens regardless, but it's the investment in your happiness that makes it worthwhile, just be true to yourself and all will happen naturally 😊
THAT LAST POINTTT!!!! Regret is a poison. I feel like a lot of people are aware that they need to change and want to, but the feeling of guilt or being unworthy of redemption keeps you stuck. At least that's how I felt and wasn't able to put it into words. I hope this video frees a lot of people from those shackles. Wish you all well!!!
It is very easy for people who had it easy coming with supporting families to give life quotes and criticize the ones who are struggling in life, who had toxic and aggresive enviroment while growing up, who had people that they were calling them useless while growing up, who later on made some bad choices with friends, who got mixed up with drugs etc etc. I swear every time someone gave me life tips on how to improve yourself was a well cared and raised child with supportive family. At the slightest struggle these people feel safe and secure because they have people to ask for help, I bet 100% they wouldn't survive a day in our shoes at least we learned to be strong and deal with almost everything!
I’m about to turn 22, and this made me start crying on my couch at 2 in the morning. This video struck me so profoundly and I hate how I feel like I’m looking in a mirror on some of these things. What I hate more is that I wasn’t always like this. I watched my 49 yr old veteran dad die as a pedestrian victim in a hit and run (cold case to this day) at 18 before I graduated highschool. I was legally responsible for his DNR and I signed it. I lost a lot of my faith in the world. My anxiety shot through the roof. I don’t like who I am anymore. Im about to graduate college and I’m terrified of the future. I can’t hardly sleep at night. I really needed to see this video because I want to change. My negativity is going to destroy me and I can’t live like this forever. God
Honestly I feel like most of the things you're describing sound like the aftermath of being traumatized by you dad's passing (which is completely reasonable). Do you think it'd be possible for you to attend professional therapy? I'd say that's your best option rn. Anyways, I wish you the best of luck on your journey!
@@richeeg3271 hey, thanks so much for responding. I’ve been in therapy since I was 9, and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. I think this vid gave me a lot of things to talk about in therapy that I wasn’t already aware of. Thank you so much for your suggestion though, therapy is awesome and I’ve made a lot of progress coping with things from my life. Thank you for the well wishes, I wish you the best in your life as well!
Not too late to rebuild your life and mindset. You can do it man. Realizing that you want to change your life is the first step. I want to do the same too. Good luck and God bless you
Just know you’re not alone out there man there’s always someone or someplace to reach out to if you need it, I felt the exact same way Watchin this I’m just so glad to know ppl know what I’m going through
Absolutely soul crushing. Thanks man, genuinely. Deep down we're all aware of what we're doing to keep ourselves unhappy and in an endless cycle, but choose not to act. I've been dealing with the consequences of this recently but in that time, I remembered a quote from a childhood movie. I think it's something many of us have forgotten. You are who you choose to be!
As someone with Aspergers I had to learn how to fit into society, now I know how to fit in to a 2000s model society which has become completely useless today with everyone acting like Autistic children. If you think your life is bad...
Funny part is the dude in this video has a job and gets invited to parties so even though he is supposed to be an example of what not to do he is a lot better off than many people watching this.
@@ponternal Nah I used to be a DJ but I hate social circles, so I was living a similar life. Going to parties and hanging out with people all while carrying a fake smile and no soul. You can look like you're living your best life, all while being dead misserable inside. Now I spend most of my time on my PC and even though I'm alone, I'm happy not dealing with society nonsense.
You have no idea how hard this personally hit me. Especially the part where you bring out your phone around people to detract. Man you hit so many personal flaws and brought them to light. Thank you for helping me start my day off on a positive note and the content you bring to the world. Keep going man your changing the world one person at a time!!!
@@brianbchi Reported cases might have risen because of technology. Also, population grows faster in uneducated regions. Possibility of getting murdered in a city is much less than dying in an accident. So calm down you don't need to rationalize your misbehaviours.
@@brianbchi I truly hope for yourself this is a troll comment. If not then I would implore you to think about those statements for yourself. I do not know how old you are so maybe this will take some time, but at least question the things you are saying. Is this way of living really making you happy, or are you consciously or unconsciously walking a path to unhappiness or at least away from happiness. Hopefully that helps and if not then that is also okay. Merry Christmas😋
The cinematography, editing, and of course the writing in this video is incredible. People underestimate how hard shooting intentionally for B&W can be, but the lighting was on point throughout.
I’m only 16 and may not have ‘lived life’ yet but this video made me rethink. I relate to a lot of this video but I’ve always lacked the motivation to change, always lacked the mental perseverance to be better. I spend too much time wasting away on my phone when I could be working towards my goals. I lack the spirit in myself to talk to new people and tend to either be the one in the corner, or trying to be the centre of attention. Thank you for posting this video, and thank you to whatever is out there for putting it on my TH-cam feed.
I am 22 now. I know how you feel. When I was 16 I was stronger than I am today. Even though I have a job, a beautiful girlfriend, and I am about to graduate college, I can relate with this video. I always had a bad “trait” as I am always late. If it would be to give you a piece of advice, i would say this: 1. ALWAYS try to solve the problems as soon as possible. Never say “I will do it tomorrow”. You won’t. 2. Never lie. If you did something wrong, just admit it, don’t try to hide it.
My bro, when i was 16 i didnt think i would have a great future, i had no friends and had issues with my parents. 22 now and i am more social then i ever was before, im living on my own with great friends around me, not a care in the world and have more confidence than Chuck norris. Your time will come soon enough, take every little chance you get even if it makes you oncomfortabel
Hit the gym my man. Trust me, it sucks and that's the best part. Becoming used to okay with suffering opens up a whole level of self improvement and resilience. Discipline and strength.
This was a masterpiece!! The acting from all the actors was very good. The way they convey emotions so subtly really makes the impact of the video more poignant. You should think about releasing a full feature film covering many different topics including what results from living your life a certain way. Thanks again.
I would like to say, thank you for this video. Few months ago i saw this video and from then i started working on myself. I stopped ignoring people and let people come up to me and talk and my life has become so much better. My life went from the silence being so loud to such a calm and peaceful life.
It depends on how you want to be perceived. I’m not saying you should care about what others think, but rather possess a positive energy when you do have interactions for example. Being on a positive path, possessing positive energy can bring many opportunities and that’s just how society works. You’ll be depressed going against it. If you prefer to be isolated, as the video says, don’t expect the knight in shining armour to come to you.
Yes because Satan gives us the comfort and easy way out he doesn’t seem like what he’s offering is so bad but it’s to deceive us and get us to do stuff that’ll make your life worse but it’s the easier and more fun way and to improve means we have to overcome and beat those temptations because god can change your life so making it better and getting to that point is gonna be harder with all the things Satan offers that’s so much easier and tempting
Ever since i grew up with anxiety and experienced episodes of depression as severe as major depressive disorder, i was always unsure of what habits i should be practicing in order to improve my outlook in life. Now i can clearly see which aspects that i haven't worked on through this video
As someone who grew up with the same disorders, just know that this video makes it seem much easier than it really is for those who truly suffer in this way. Overcoming genuine depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, patterns of isolation, self-hatred, etc. is a battle you will fight forever. It is a fight against forces outside your control. The battle may become easier. The battle may become harder. The battle WILL shift between the two. I continue to struggle hugely, to this very moment. The closest thing to victory is the refusal to surrender. You can only wake up and agree with yourself that you must continue to struggle, to suffer, and to keep yourself afloat in the hope that you will see better days - and you always will. If you continue to fight, then you continue to deserve those better days. To live is to struggle beautifully. Never stop fighting. The fight is all there is.
@@christiansanders1To you, and the feller above, I give you nothing but my best wishes. Life is extremely difficult sometimes, and it can truly feel like we're dealt an unfair hand, and it may even be true. But as long as you keep fighting, as long as you try to do right by yourself, your loved ones, and the world, you deserve better days, and eventually, you will reach them. Just keep pushing through. The only way to win is to never give up and keep trying until things start falling into place. One more thing, manage your expectations. You may never become the happiest person, and that's okay. You shouldn't blame yourself for unhappiness. As long as you're doing your best, you will be on a gradual climb, improving day by day, even if you sometimes stumble. During the journey, you should try to enjoy the little things in life, such as feeding some animals, or doing little things to help people in need, or just eating food you enjoy.
im glad to see some people acknowledging mental health here. sometimes i feel offput by these immediate things offered to me, because it can feel really dismissive. but we can be strong too. our fight may be paced different, but its a worthy one. i feel a bit more motivated from this.
I relate with you all. Having suffered and prone to depressive episodes and anxiety, my inner voice gave the same answers of being humble while expecting, grateful of everything, enjoying little things, being more on the positive side, facing reality and accepting that life is not black or white but grey and would be complex, with many unanswered questions, hidden truths. I will need to be vigilant, struggle and always embrace and protect myself. I will "struggle beautifully". Hope best for us
📍Bullet points for NOT ruining your life: ➡ - Step 1: Maintain open body language, stand tall, make eye contact, and engage in social interactions to appear welcoming and receptive. - Step 2: Be present in the moment, minimize phone use, and approach interactions with genuine curiosity instead of relying on distractions. - Step 3: Be punctual and take responsibility for mistakes, openly admitting faults and learning from them. - Step 4: Develop an internal locus of control and take responsibility for your actions, believing that you have the power to influence your own outcomes. - Step 5: Practice active listening and encourage others to share their experiences, avoiding dominating conversations with personal stories. - Step 6: Promote positivity by speaking well of others and seeking to understand their perspectives, rather than putting them down. - Step 7: Be consistent and authentic in your behavior, presenting your true self to others rather than adopting different personas. - Step 8: Actively plan and work towards positive changes in your life instead of wishing for things to be different passively. - Step 9: Engage in activities that make you feel strong and embrace challenges, avoiding the path of least resistance. - Step 10: Foster a positive self-image, recognizing your worth and potential for growth, and believe in your capacity for redemption.
I'm working on the last 2 steps but I'm excited to see my journey to ruin my life going so well! Thanks for this tutorial, really helped me envision how to achieve the worst me.
Yes - developing the habit of smoking cigarettes is a tough one if your not a fan of cigarette smoke. But be persistent and pretty soon you'll be smoking like a chimney!
I'm SO glad I turned my life around the past year. My life used to be just like this, and seeing it from another perspective is confronting. Maybe even more confronting than when I confronted myself at the start of 2023. Keep going lads, you got this in the bag!
@@bruhhda_mancakes3953wake up early, take cold showers everyday, go to the gym at least once a week, eat healthy, drink water A LOT, smile to strangers (learn how to smile), walk confidently knowing that you’re a king (or queen idk what you are), try different hobbies
This video got me crying. I never thought i was actually being like that . The hardest part for me was loneliness. I never cope up from it and i think it will never be.
@@cdargartz i tried. I made new friends also. Even i tried to get in relationship too. But i ended up everything because they can't fill the gap of loneliness inside me. Now i realise i become more needy, selfish. But everything got failed. From 4 years nothing changed. I used to think that if someone is be with me then i will never feel lonely.
1-open up your body language 2-don’t check your phone regularly as a habit 3-be early 4-don’t make excuses and know how to apologize 5-develop an internal locus of control 6-don’t try to be the spotlight of every conversation 7-enhance 8-be true to who you are 9-plan and pray and don’t be wishful 10-engage in behaviors that make you feel strong and resist your comfort zone 11-be optimistic it’s not too late to change If you’re still breathing then it’s not over yet ❤
God, this video is art. Your cinematography is nothing to scoff at, mate. You know, I sometimes worry about just how much subtlety I'm missing out on. Kind of like the anxiety of knowing you'll never read enough books. And all I can say is youve successfully induced that anxiety in me with this piece, which is a good thing. The aspect ratio immediately draws the eyes, the introduction of green into the black and white video during the sponsored section makes it really pop and stand out with a unique color profile for the shots, also obviously symbolizes health and vitality with the more layered message of "Hey, if you focus more on your health, you introduce the color green into your life" which immediately leads me to think thats the guiding light behind your color side of videos. "Living bad makes the world grey, living better introduces color back, with every facet of life being a different color introduced back into your lens". Ugh, its just SO good! Would absolutely love a video just breaking down the artistic process for your videos.
Ephesians 6:10-18 says, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.
Ive been depressed and had a mental breakdown today. I see how the first 2 and last one has been ruining me. Especially me and my social skills. No one tries to interact or talk to me anymore. I feel shameful within myself for how my life is. And i definitely feel uncomfortable sometiems so i try to occupy myself or look busy just so no one talks to me knowing i want interaction and love. I just am truly heartbroken and hard of trusting others and i feel like i blame myself for alot or am so hard on myself when i am literally all i have. This video gave me insight
This is crazy. Im 18 and felt like nobody is thinking the same way as me at this age. Ive been struggling a lot with trying to motivate myself and actually do things that help me grow not just be on my phone and consumed by social media like everyone else around me. Im so glad I found someone who doesn't feel that being 18 means just partying and saying yolo and doing whatever the hell every college student does. Today was my 2nd day at a new job and a high schooler was asking me so what do you do as a college student now in the break, party and drink and smoke, I tell them no actually and they are shocked. This is the standard now and we really have to stand our grounds if we want to be different and run after our goals and dreams instead of wishing them away.
im feeling this so hard, i'm 20 now and i am/was dealing with this endless feeling for like 3/4 years now. Ive wasted so much time being bummed that i don't have someone elses life. Since this year i have come to see that living a happy life is not based on luck and talent but on having discipline, routines and making little steps. Recently, after being free of social media for 1 year, I looked up at my homepage for 5 minutes ( that was the idea, it turned into an hour), i realized how quickly i had lost all my energy for that day. and don't let anyone tell you that you are to young for all those patterns, if you are not happy with yoyr current habis, why not change it? You can do it.
My brother you sound like me at your age. Im almost 40. Pls don't be like me. Work make a family find a purpose forgive and forget always get back up as quick as possible no matter the pain dont drink dont smoke plan kids if poss save money If you don't welp. Dont expect the world to open its hands.
You are so young, you have your whole life ahead of you. Change your attitude now, im 34 and this video summed up my life and it honestly made me sick to my stomach, reality punched me right in the gut. I have a lot of work to do, it's never to late to rewrite your own narrative.
This makes me realize how tough of a place I used to be in. I used to do almost all of these things as recently as last month. However, I have since put a huge amount of effort into changing myself and improving my stance on my own life. I’ve taken my path into my own hands and have expressed myself more openly and I can safely say I am a much better person now. If you want to change, please do your best to. Your efforts will pay off.
How can i change though? I’m in highschool and I feel like I’m wasting my last years in school. I try to go out my way and interact with people but it’s just hard for me to be outgoing
just keep trying. stop believing and thinking "im not outgoing" bc as he said in the vid humans act according to what they believe they are. you choose who u wanna be. if u dont wanna be like that and WORK for it, keep trying and put yourself out there, maybe not only in school. you can be whoever you wanna be if u worl for it. keep going, even if it doesnt make sense. one day, randomly, it will all click.@@danielmarmorstein321
This hits me so hard, 80% of them is so accurate to my daily lifes for over the past few years until now.. The negativity stated in this video just taught me a lesson to change myself and do the opposite of it..
Mate! For me, from a filmmaking standpoint, this is the best video you've ever made - and that was a high bar to beat! You can tell you really put a lot of hard work into this and it definitely paid off. Nice one man 👌🏼
@@ItWontLetMePutMyName259 God has no children nor partners nor is there anything that has any resemblance to Him. 'Isa (Jesus), peace be upon him, was no more than a messenger, who spread the same message as all other prophets, worship God alone with no partners. Associating anything with Him is the greatest sin. I invite you to Islam to submit to the One God and devout your life in obeying and pleasing Him alone.
First time coming across this channel, really loved this argument format. It’s easy to let things like what was mentioned in this video just happen, but when you hear them phrased as firm recommendations, something about the thought process totally changes to “Uhh no, that’s ridiculous!” That’s exactly the point, and I love how this video brought that reaction out of me and made me reflect on some of these tendencies that I have. Thank you for sharing.
It caught me off guard how... similar this feels to myself. This video made me think on how I act and my habits, opening my eyes to the truth of my actions. Thank you for making this video, and I hope this recommended to other people to see what not to do.
I feel like I've been stuck in place for so many years, following all of these steps even at a social outing just this evening. Tomorrow I'm going to wake up and chose to do better. Amazing video.
I’m 19 years old. I took a gap year from high school and have 5 months left until the summer. I still haven’t looked for any colleges and do almost everything in this video. I’m the oldest sibling out of six, I don’t want to be a bad example. I want to make a fix, but am so mentally drained from working retail fulltime that I have no motivation to ever do anything and simply just daydream. I wonder if it’s too late for me, but I don’t think it is. It’s still scary to think about. Every year I seem to mature and become wiser and more sour towards my past self. This will be the year that I finally push myself into the right direction. Godspeed, guys. We are all in this very confusing world together.
What a perfect approach. In a world full of "how to make your life better" videos, it's time for some reality check. Often we find ourselves doing things out of habit and not realizing they are fucking up our lives but we're too stubborn and self absorbed to recognize them. Thank you for this perfect video.
Thank you. Just to add to this motivational ride, nothing is ever too late to change. Literally last week I decided to change before the new year starts (It’s December), and just like that, I don’t smoke anymore and I’ve pushed myself to meet up events after a long isolation I blamed ‘trauma’ for. I just poured out my glass of wine after this video. I have to inspire myself if I want to inspire othwrs.
I've concluded our lack of passion for life comes with a lack of change. Since change is a constant of the universe it must be accepted and practiced upon, change is about flexibility as Bruce Lee said the rigid tree cannot handle the storm as well as the flexible one.
It's been months since this video was posted but my man... This video just described my life. Always thinking things aren't my fault even when i know they are. Wishing my world to be different when i'm the one who's supposed to make it different... I've realized how negative i've been looking at things and how badly i've treated myself and the others around me. But despite all, i'm determined to change. I don't want to stay like this. I want to be better and act better. I want to change.
Casually stumbled upon this video during my daily yt scrolling due to being homestuck for a surgery. I admit that it was really hard to watch it to the point I had to pause the video more than once - the reason: it called me out in such a way that made me wake up from my current slumber. Of course I am aware from a long time that this behavior has already damaged my social skills, but the worst thing is that I keep blaming my past traumas for that instead of my cowardice and lack of will. Using them as a shield to protect myself from further harm at the price of being considered as a strange, if not crazy, outcast... And the fact that I'm a procrastinator doesn't help at all. Thank you for this video. Not sure if I'll be able to change for the better, but I sincerely want to try again - especially now that there will be some important changes in my life.
The key takeaways; be more open to public interaction, be early to events, take responsibility for your actions, success won’t happen without planting seeds, don’t seek attention or validation, be authentic & honest, don’t let your vices take over, and never give up.
@@christiank7837"take responsibility" is such a bullshit retard statement. If traffic causes me to be late because someone gets in a crash its not my fault, if i want to kill myself because of my depression its not my fault. This guy described introverts and autistic people, acting like any of what he said is wrong.
You make it sound like it's easy - ruining your life - but it's a slow process. I've been working on it for years and I still haven't achieved my full misery potential. But thanks to your tips I'm just a bit closer to my goal.
@@K-reami lost my job, my 17 years old died, my 15 years old dog died, my 5 years girlfriend broke with me, and the cat i addopted 3 years ago just dissapeared. You really think making eye contact with people would help with any of those? You think if you dont look at your phone anymore you will prevent your mother to get diagnosed terminal cancer? For example? Life is much more deeper than that, there has nothing to see with how early you arrive work or how late, how much you look at your phone or how much you say hello to people. Life will strike, and strikes will be hard as motherfucking fuck, the strikes may be several and may stack, and you may fall in a state you cant come back from, because when you face real pain, and real depression, there is no come back. Sometimes pain is the only thing that remains, so you dont want to let it go.
Wow… This was certainly some kind of a lightening struck. I’ve “ticked” nearly every point from noticing flaws in people and focusing on them to taking the phone out to avoid any communication. For the past year and college application process I’ve tried to convince myself of how great, and worthy, and genius I am, I forgot about what a person I’m turning into. I haven’t done anything to fix this, I was, again, just constantly finding excuses. I was just “discussing other’s flaws, to understand what to do with them” (I haven’t done anything except for discussing). I was just “realizing the advantages of doing something this way”, even though I’ve been criticizing them. Thank you for this clear and bold sign, a final push and alarm that something is going the wrong way. I hope that this first comment in social media in the past few years will be a step in the right direction. Thank you.
I'm 27 and I used to tick the boxes of 1 through 12, except 6 and 8. I literally ruined my life. This video is 100% accurate. Don't make the same mistakes. Work on your issues, one by one. You still have time to turn it around.
Powerful. I advocate for this to be shown everywhere, especially to young men, and especially in relation to...relationships and career. It's never too late to give up, the worse thing you do is nothing at all. Something, is better than nothing. Thank you for this, I hope it continues to resonate.
Dude i used to watch this guys self help non procrastination videos thinking something is wrong w me to fix. Then i got a over 100k job and im like totally normal hardworking gym when i wake up.. so really i just didnt have a job and was bored drinking. Its amazing how like u can try all u want but it still feels pointless and its so easy to just be lazy until ur gettin paid and the light switch flips and u naturally become a machine. I guess thats what he does... tries to inspire people who have nothing. It didnt work for me.. i just kept listening to the stuff thinking how good it sounded. Hah
0:21 close your body language 0:51 check your phone 1:19 be late 1:47 make excuses 2:17 develop an external locus of control 2:48 steal the spotlight 3:22 detract 3:52 shapeshift 4:16 wish 4:39 shrink 4:58 despair
@ACMilano1899 why not though? It costs nothing. Try going a day projecting warmth instead of averting your eyes/body every time someone walks by you. You'll feel much more confident and likable.
For those who are self-improvement consoomers #8 really hit me hard. I realize that I am a complex person, not because I examined myself deeply, but because I keep adding more things to examine about myself. The ego of me trying to validate myself rather than going out and actually doing something has caused me to become so numb to everything. My heart has hardened due to this information overload and sensory overload. If I focus on simplifying myself in morals, character, and personality, I could actually make decisions that are based on a solid, unshakeable foundation, rather than my flacid character. This video helped me realize that consuming so much of this content made me think in so many ways, and yet I am directed into the astray path. Conviction allows you to go farther in life, even if those presumptions might become false in the future. I am in the path of indecision, and because of my complexity of so many different perspectives, I think in ways irrational to myself and to my fellow humans.
i needed to read this so thank you for sharing your insight! i’d honestly say i’ve been addicted to self improvement and over analysis for awhile now. i never considered that the amount i watch, read, talk about, etc could actually be hurting me more than improving. thank you again for talking about this!
yes i've realized this recently too. overthinking everything has always seemed like the rational thing to do because, you know, the more you think about something the better decisions you'll make, right? no, not really because after a certain point, it just leads you to not make *any* decisions at all because your overthinking keeps coming up with reasons why your choice isn't the perfect one. i realized i'm better off doing *something* even if it's not THE ultimate best decision ever, rather than stand there paralyzed by all the information i consume and the knowledge that nothing i'll ever do will be perfect.
As a person who ruined his life in the last 8 years, I concur. I did all these things. And yes, I am ruined. I still have many things to be grateful for. I have developed gratitude as a religion. Stopped making excuses. Now, everything in my personal and professional life, it is my personal responsibility. Hopefully, I will prosper in the next 8 years.
This is a huge eye opener. I’m 34 years old. I’ve been going through it. Last year almost lost my older brother twice also have been in a funk since my separation from my wife a few years ago. This video literally had me think of things subconsciously I’ve been putting in my head. I need to change and be the best version of myself that I know I’m capable of being.
Man, I'm 33...never had a wife, no kids, got laid off, went to rehab, moved back in with parents one who has a multipersonailty disorder, lost my car and all else. I'm just about homeless without a job. I stillblamemy dad for how my life turned out because I asked him to sign for me at 17 to join the military. He said no and that I'd go crazy...... I'm trying. We can always be in a worse position. Life is tough. You'll make it to where you want to be.
I love watching videos with the reverse effect, where instead of being shown and told, "How things should be done", you're shown, "How it goes if you leave it the way it is", and you can learn from other people's mistakes while really understanding why. That's awesome! Thanks for the video!
Absolutely. It's about showing the "heaven" if you do xyz, and showing the "hell" (as this video does) if you don't. Some will be more motivated by the former, others by the latter
@@piquedcommenter6252 You're right. The two options are not mutually exclusive, and working together create the very effect where you actually realise (not just think you realise, but you do realise) that maybe your behaviour is worth changing. In the first case/heaven, when you're told how to do things, you don't always understand the point, and in the second case/hell, when you're shown the consequences, you probably won't understand what happened. Balance is important.
I was falling on my face in the mud. Then the mud turned into a puddle. But I could not even realise that it was neither mud nor a puddle, but something deeper, and I could not realise how deep I could go. No one around me could tell me that there was something wrong with me until I was in my new environment. In my previous environment my behaviour was natural and approved of. I noticed that my new acquaintances acted with me as if we were F.R.I.E.N.D.S., and it was kind of nice in a way. I've seen many videos that tell you how to live your life, how to become more friendly, less rude, and just plain nice (which is still no small thing), but it wasn't until I watched the reverse position videos that show you step by step "how to slide into the abyss" that I finally put together the puzzle, "so that's the point". Only then I realised where I really am, I know where to go, backwards and forwards, and now I am looking for where the roads to the left/right can lead, in order to properly adapt myself to new conditions without breaking myself, while keeping my personality intact and unharmed.
I needed this. I clicked into this thinking that I knew better than this, but no. Some parts where just spot on with how I've been after graduating from school. I got a life ahead of me, but I feel stumped by the lack of direction and quidance where to go from now. Nothing is going to happen, if I just crawl in my own space and insecurities. This year has gone like a flash, I didn't do anything new, I haven't grown or experienced anything, just me and my own incompetence. This was a wake up call to try and take action on my own direction again. Even an attempt is going to be better than just, continuing on like *this.* So, thank you.
i’ve been dealing a lot with social anxiety and isolation but fortunately never make conversation about myself, come late, or blame others for my problems. trying to turn my life around. hopefully it’ll get better soon
Deep down I know I can't really blame my lack of success on being abused as a small child, but man, overcoming negative programming from age 5 has been a lifelong struggle.
Not everything is your fault tho. You have to grieve the fact that because of childhood abuse your growth HAS been stunted. It is more difficult. GRIEVE that and then move on. Can’t move past it if you don’t grieve
The production of this video is unreal, you’ve seriously grown so much over the years and it’s inspiring to watch. The content was amazing as always. It really shows us how so many things we assume to be “givens” are actually in our control.
You’ve probably heard this before but the key is just embracing it. By that I mean constantly exposing yourself to situations you feel uncomfortable in. Preferably start in a place where you are semi-comfortable. For example, into video games? Go to a convention with like minded people and talk about them. Interested in books? Book club or the library. I’ve been there, as a young man I got a job at a popular bar because I knew the amount of social repetitions I would get would make me less uncomfortable. It works. And it sucks at first, but I promise you will get better at. Tell stories, multiple times. Sounds weird but the more you tell a story, the better you will get at telling that story, where you could add humor for example, or a pause to enunciate something. It just takes practice. Every master was once a novice. Best of luck to whoever reads this comment. You got this.
@@liamlynch-bell802 Thank you so much for your thoughtful advice on overcoming social anxiety. Your suggestions were incredibly helpful, and I'm already starting to see positive changes. I truly appreciate your support and encouragement!
This is incredibly powerful. I feel like you could make a full length anti-film, if that makes sense? Like using this negative technique in order to make people realise their current lifestyle choices. It really puts your mindset back in the present time.
Yeah! And the end of that film should be a 4th wall break, the "pro"tagonist looks into the camera and ask the audience: "What were you thinking? Waiting on a happy end? Look at yourself!" something along the lines.
This video made me cry. I'm 24 and I feel so lost about my life and myself and I couldn't find the answer, until I found this video; I know I'm young but I'm ruining my life and I didn't want to see it. Thank you for making this video, it hit me pretty hard, but now I know what I have to do.
Believe me, you're not alone. I'm 32 and I'm overweight. I did some shitty things out of naivety at my current workplace that I'm now regretting and will bite me in the ass in the near future. I don't have my own place, my own car. Heck I don't even have savings yet. I finished college yet I'm not working in that field. I earn minimum wage. I'm lost and I need to take actions for all the wrongdoings I did these past years (the ones that cannot be solved are another story). I did all the mistakes again and again which is idiocy. So yeah, you're not alone. But this is life. We have to learn from past mistakes and try to be better. Best wishes! Wishing you all the best for this upcoming new year! Greetings from Hungary! ❤
24 as well. its all about your attitude towards life. read good book, talk with good people, experience life and all its beauty. you can do this, i believe in you!
I’m only 28 but have followed this path to a teeee, however watching this honestly filled my soul with clarity and purpose. Just realizing how many feel the same, but also how it’s truly about perspective
Hey, I wanna say: thank you for making this. Genuinely puts a lot of what I’m doing and a lot of how I act into perspective. Coming from experience doing most of these things, this is 100% how you ruin your life, and it’s a slow and painful process that feels like when an inexperienced hunter shoots a deer wrong, and has to gather up all the bits of their courage just to clumsily and hesitatingly finish it off, putting it in more pain than it already is. I wanna see the next video :)
Many tiny steps add up to change. Focus on one small thing to work on and when you make some progress set a new goal. Don’t overextend yourself or be discouraged by stagnation or setbacks. You can do it. I can do it too. We can do it.
@@minecraftprovie5076 You can brother, We all can and we all will if we want to. Just try and keep trying, Sooner or later you will reach the goal even if each time you try you only make it alittle bit closer each time. I believe in you.
the amount of times ive done all of these things as a 20 year old i feel so ashamed of the fact that i let myself go the person i knew i shouldve been wasnt worth fighting for after so many years of distrust and misplaced love its hard wanting to be better but this video just makes me smile...it reminds me that i am the reason for my failures and nobody will ever wanna fight for my success the way i should want too so thank you for this video truly
It is not over! Stay determined and FIGHT against the voice inside your head telling you that you are bad. Start by doing something nice for your mother or a friend or stranger today! I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!!! YOU ARE GOING TO DO AMAZINGLY!!!!!!!
I've never watched this video before, this is the first time im watching in. And it's so upsetting how I used to do all of these things before, I knew what I was doing wasn't right, I didn't experience the last one. Thanks to the few friends I had before they helped me go through this depressing chapter of my lfie, and believe that everyone can start over again, that there is still hope. To this day I've made a lot of changes on my live, and im grateful to say that they have worked, I have very trustworthy friends, a person that I loved, and I even begain to take care of myself. Is never too late to put your life back together, strange person from the internet.
I’ve always been doing these things subconsciously without knowing and then blamed everyone around me as to why I felt unlikeable so I’m glad I found this video and hopefully I’ll change.
i believe in you:) i saw this somewhere and it’s been rly helpful- meet anger with exercise meet burnout with boundaries meet jealousy with humor meet anxiety with grounding meet insecurity with mindfulness meet depression with sunlight meet loneliness with volunteering meet guilt with realignment speak for your emotions, not from them we all have the capacity for change ❤️ but remember it takes little steps, and lots of time. good luck man
We seriously need a class on filmmaking from this guy. A behind the scenes video for this video perhaps? Well taken video, music and visuals are amazing. The content is simple and straight to the point, concise and short. Love it !!
@@franacha no this is how to ruin ur life bro. You have infinite amount of chances to change yourself bro it would hit hardest if every chance u had was a failure
@@NaviTheNavajo thanks man, I appreciate the good vibe. But I don't see any chance to change myself. I'm too broken, I have too many mental issues, and I've lost so much time, I wasted my potential and the best years of my life. I can't socialize, I can't study, I can't make a career. I can't make anything worth out of this. I don't have a path to follow. Change? change how? change *to* WHAT? sigh, I give up man, I give up. I can't do this
Damn, what a tremendous video. Going to rewatch this periodically as I try to piece myself back together. I'm 25, unemployed, running out of money, living at home, and losing faith in myself. But I'm not done yet. God bless everybody reading this!

You'll make it man. Push yourself to do anything you can even if it is a crappy job like dishwashing or whatever because thats the first point towards growth. Work hard and press in to your strengths and turn them into things you can monetize. You can do it. If you do this your life will change for the better.
@NomadZeroOne thank you. I'm trying to find another job currently. I was selling Nissan's but that didn't really work out. Here's hoping I find something solid 🙏🏻
The older ones you did like this a few years back is one of the main reasons I started working on myself. I remember them hitting me right in the feels because I could relate to everything you were saying. Can't say the same about this one. Changed a lot since then and still got a lot to work on. Thanks for everything man ❤️
What a brilliant, powerful, amazing message. Such a different perspective by reversing it, but so potent in how it wakes you up. Thank you for this. A masterpiece.
This video is great. The sponsor really speaks to my soul, because it's right. I don't waste enough money, I don't consume enough ads, and I've convinced myself that my life is good without unnecessary products. Time to make changes happen, and drive myself into dept!
I hate how bad i can relate to most of these ideas, but i love the fact that this was made to actually make us think about these ideas and what we are actually doing at this time. Thanks for this video, it might have been the one that i needed pretty badly for a while, especially on the "social anxiety" part, where i mostly stay the same because i always have been, so why change, right? That idea hit pretty hard to give thoughts about why i am doing that and not actively trying to improve myself. This video was all that I needed for this sequence in my life.
This video was beautifully written and filmed. It makes me think how many times I may have done these things or surrounded myself with negative energy and people. It’s a perfect “what not to do” life manual.
As a master student in the university where I got my bachelor's degree two months before starting master, it really feels like I had my shot and it's over. Friends at my age started to have their jobs and moving on different paths while newer faces who are bachelor students already have their friendship groups and relationships. Despite being 25, I feel like a dinasour walking in the campus. I have few friends, never dated someone and I can neither find a professional job despite applying everywhere nor earn money (financially dependent on my family). So I'm stuck in a circle where I constantly eat, go to bars and cafes to find a familiar face, get annoyed at any noise, resent at random couples and groups I've never known, and finish my school works on deadlines. Even if I finish my master thesis, I am so hopeless about what will come after. So, the circle continues. No improvement, no end, just a long-term nihilism with short-term gains.
Why don’t you start by drawing or writing out a list of what you want your life to look like. What would be the most perfect life for you? Write that out and hang it on your wall next to bed. Make it the first thing you see everyday
This would have been me if I didn't play guitar. The only reason I have friends is because someone walked up to me while I played guitar on a bench at campus. Never spoke to anyone in my classes that much. Find a socially powerful hobby or something. Something you can get good at and people will just gravitate towards you.
You're never without choices. You're in charge of your life. 25 is a full fledged adult. If you don't enjoy your school, change it. Want to meet someone? Try dating online. Go volunteer somewhere and meet friends. 25 is too young to not embrace life.
This video has made me realise that I act in a lot of these ways and that whilst some of these are understandable given my depression and suspected ASD, there are still some that I can work on to change for the better.
It was painfully real. I'm 21 now, and it's my second year at the university. When I was graduating from high school last year, I had everything what I wanted when I was younger. I had friends, bros, and a beautiful girlfriend. Then, I got somehow TOO comfortable with my life. I took everything for granted, which was the biggest mistake I've ever made. I was getting more and more lazy, unpredictable and remiss. This was at the summer of 2022. Later, I got more and more problems, my relationship started to decline. Later this year, in the end of may, we broke up. Our breakup was not that smooth, it was quite complicated. To sum up, I lost my dignity, lost some of my friends, my girlfriend, and got some enemies. I lost almost everything what I built up in the last 4 years. This was a lesson what I had to learn, now I am building back myself from scratch. Don't take nothing for granted guys... And most important, always be honest and fair, respect your friends and your loved ones.
What I love most about this video is that it appears you, the content creator, have been through most of it. Perhaps many of us watching this video have or will struggle with our character at some point. The fact we are watching this video shows we are in the conscious incompetence stage, meaning you are aware you are doing something wrong.
Most of us actually just scrolled into this, watched because it sounded interested, and scrolled to the next interesting video. It's not all about you.
I am changing it all. Thank you for the vid, it's eye opening to all the work ahead of me for the remainder of my life. I am seeking a 100% transformation
This video felt like it was describing me. I feel so lonely, but im too anxious about being myself to do anything about it. I feel broken beyond repair, and I just want to fix myself. Im not sure how. Ive seen a million different pieces of advices, ive tried as many as I can. Im just stuck in this loop of bitterness and a constant need for attention and validation. I dont feel like I have anyone to talk to. I hate this feeling. I feel like im worth nothing compared to the people around me, that I'll never be good enough. All I do is get swept in big dreams, but no matter how hard I try I just cant achieve them. Im so sorry guys. To everyone who identified with this video, I hope you're doing okay. I have faith in you.
It is always hard to get out of our comfort zone, I'm going through the same but I really promise at some point it gets better, I really hope you find your way
I have faith in you too. Most of the thoughts you're having are pretty normal, and mostly not true. Look for evidence in your life that the opposite of those things is true. Just start with one. I hope you have a good day.
Joey I have to say you really emphasize the "create" in "creator". I've honestly seen only a few other videos on TH-cam that so fluidly combine elegantly worded, actionable advice with a uniquely creative presentation format. You've very quickly evolved from "advice-giving self-help guy" to "artistically impactful masterpiece guy". You truly are changing people's lives for the better❤
I'm at 2:42 and I'm already in tears. I have social anxiety and something I could blame on for but he's right. Blaming everything on it isn't right. I still had control of my life, all I had to was push myself into uncomfortable situations little by little but I failed but I'll start owning the blame from now on. While social anxiety did play a role, I failed to put the most minimum amount of effort everyday that would've made a huge difference over time. Now, let me continue with the video, even though it's really hurtful to go through.
Alright, after that, it stopped being about me altogether so it was totally easy to watch through. But I'll still download this video and watch it at appropriate times. I'm still 18, so I can still improve my life and I'll certainly try my hardest at it. Thank you for reading.
If really feels like yourself had to go through darkest lows to know all of this. Whether this was made out of own experience or deliberate psychological and philosophical research, this video is a masterpiece of its time and deservers much more recognition. This is our time's picasso painting.
Thank you so much for this video! I will show this video to my Narcissistic dad and maby he will notice that most of the steps (besides the phone thing) apply to him. I'm 18 years old atm and all my life until now I had to suffer under his narcissistic behaviour. And now he is using excuses like "it was all my mothers fault" and how "he is always seen as the bad person although he did everything just for us to be happy" and so on... I can't take any of this serious because it's just not the truth. It's gotten to a point now where every time we have an argument, ever so small, he threatens me to leave home. I mean, yes I'm 18 years old, but I would like to finish school first and I'm everything but a plague here at home (in my and my brothers eyes at least...). There is no logical reason for him to get me to move out. He says I should be thankful for all he did in my favor and that I own him a lot but that's also just not true. I didn't do anything bad or so. And I didn't decide to be born either. Everything he did in my favor is something you would expect from a father and less.
I’m 21 years old, and I have no idea what im doing with my life. I find myself wasting so much time wishing for a perfect life instead of pursing something that could make me really happy. It feels like I’m my own worst enemy, and I feel like I’m destined to become a failure. But this video changed my perspective, and made me realize that maybe I need to forgive myself for feeling these things. Maybe by forgiving myself, I can finally break some of these habits. Thank you, Joey.
3 months ago I found this video. Ive watched it almost every week just to remind myself how being caught up in a web of self crippling patterns is unhealthy. Thank you for not only making this video it challenges me to become a better human being
Like many people, I feel like somebody just described me, to me, almost every point here is what I essentially boiled my life down to, especially the last one. While I don't wish, I sure do pray, albeit for death in order to relieve me of my "suffering", or for others to forget me for I feel like I am not worth it. I put the word suffering into quotation marks, because at this point I am not sure what I am experiencing or whatever that I'm feeling is not real. I love this video.
Despite often feeling disheartened because I realize I’m making the mistakes your videos advise against, I continue watching them for their invaluable insights and the positive impact they’ve had on my mental and physical well-being, as well as my overall lifestyle. Joey, you might not see this, but I want to express my deep gratitude for the guidance and hope you’ve provided me over the years.
Dude i used to watch this guys self help non procrastination videos thinking something is wrong w me to fix.

honestly a good fix for me was just talking to people, if your on a train, in the elevator work or school anywhere really. just spark up a convo with someone else who is doing nothing atm. it’s fun and it’ll help you grow hopefully :)
Thank you, genuinely. Thank you so much. This video popped up in my recommended when I really needed it. I really needed that wake-up call, honestly. I’m fifteen years old - a freshman in high school. Ever since quarantine, I’ve suffered from a major depressive disorder (diagnosed). During quarantine, my previously very caring parents slipped into their own depression and were unable to take care of me. I became dependent on technology, and four years later it’s still hard to break away. My dad died back in August, and my mom was hospitalized several times for the abuse of prescription drugs. It’s been rough. Often, I do wish my circumstances were different. I wish quarantine never happened, I wish my parents weren’t mentally ill, I wish my dad were still alive. But recently, I realized that wishing isn’t going to do anything. I’ve been wasting my life as a result of depression, often just staying in bed and doing nothing, neglecting basic self care in the process. It’s not fun. It doesn’t make me happy. But it’s so much easier than getting up and doing something I might actually enjoy. And that’s something I need to change. No matter how much I wish, my happiness isn’t going to come to me on a silver platter. I’ve been dealt a shitty hand, sure, but I have to find a way to deal with it. Letting my life waste away as I wish for something that won’t ever come true isn’t the way. Recently, I’ve been taking steps to improve myself. Deleting all social media (save for TH-cam on Safari) off my phone, spending more time with my mother (who is no longer hospitalized), cooking actual meals, partaking in my hobbies, etc. It’s been… maybe two weeks since I started doing this. and I’m already starting to see some improvements. Of course, it’s still very difficult. Like I’m facing symptoms of withdrawal since I decided to stop doing nothing. Sometimes, it’s hard for me to believe that I can change and make a better life for myself. Truth is, I can. I know I’m still very young, and I know I still have a lot of time left in this world. It’s a process - one that might take a while. I’ll have to heal several scars in my emotional state that have been neglected for years. But I have hope. There’s at least a part of me that believes everything is going to be okay. I made this comment to share my story, and to remind whoever reads it that things can get better. Even if you’re thirty years older than me, it’s not too late to change. If I can make an effort to improve myself, so can you. Good luck out there. I wish whoever reading this the best of luck. You’ll find your happiness, as long as you keep making the effort. It’ll be a difficult journey, but it’ll be worth it. While we may be strangers on the internet, I hope that we can take our respective journeys knowing that we are not the only ones. We’ve all got this!
You’re very self-aware which is a good thing I’m 20 years old, And I can relate to your story as well. I really struggle with Socializing I have Social Anxiety. It’s definitely hard for me to step out of my bubble, and meet new people but at the same time it’s a gift and curse. Because it taught me how to be independent and not feeling the need to constantly surround myself. With people to fill the void, it’s a big difference between being alone and being lonely I admit I do feel lonely at times, but that’s one area of my life I’m currently struggling with that is taking a toll, on my mental state.
freshman year was where it all went down hill for me. i was a smart kid who couldve done whatever i wanted, but i came depenant on substances and stopped giving a fuck. got hiigh and slep through school, now i have a 2.6 gpa. im in my junior year now and im scared because i wanna move out when im 18 (my home life is shit like yours) but how the hell is a 2.6 gpa fuck up gonna have a sucessful life and take care of herself? i find myself wishing i had just been like everyone else and did well in school, cuz my future would be a given, but i guess life had other plans. i dont regret shit, im not like anyone else and im truly one of a kind, but sometimes i really wanna kms over ts. im turning to art, music and literature, the only things that kept me comfort in the past, and hopefully they'll comfort me in my future. im notsaying dont do drugs, im not syaing give school everything you have, just be concious of every descision you make. because theyre not small and meaningless, they add up and fuck you in the ass. anyway, good luck charlie.
29 turning 30 this year, and I’ve never stopped feeling this way since I was about your age. I let relationships go, with myself and others. I’m just now working out getting help and being better. I amend you and I know you are capable of great things solely from your post. You have a great head on your shoulders. I’m very sorry for your loss and it’ll never truly get easier, I won’t lie to you. But you have the recipe for success and as long. As you keep trying everyday, you’ll always do and be better. Even if you take a step back, that’s completely fine and normal. Shake it off and keep going. I promise you, you’re right on track and even as a stranger, I’m very proud of you. Take care of yourself and your family. You deserve the best, treat yourself well and you will love a fruitful life. Hydrate often, eat healthy foods but don’t forget to enjoy life and splurge once in while. It’s not wrong for you to love yourself.
The cinematography and effort put into this video is seriously underappreciated, instant inspiration on my end, first video in a while that made me comment. Great Video Joey.
If watching this gives you an uneasy feeling, your stomach cramps up a little, a slight nausea builds up, together with your eyes starting to water a bit and deep sadness lies over you..., you know, you've done everything right. Exactly right. And now it's time to try something new. Something opposite, than what you're used to. Try something wrong. Please, try something wrong. Hugs and love to all of you, especially to those, who are struggling.
How can I change life if MY SMALL PENIS RUINS MY LIFE i can't change it i'm 35 single and although rich and funny i have money nothing else i have anxiety have no show and tell. And I can't change my willy it cuts my soul 😮 what would u do if you had a small penis 😢😢😢
Damn...the amount of effort that went into the making of this video is insane. Looks visually beautiful and your message hit right at home in my self improvement journey. Thank you..!!
Next vid we’ll have a chill time going through this video point-for-point and talking about how we can do the opposite :)
👍👍
We can't wait!
Thanks!
I have done one mistake
I was jobless for nearly 5 years and then i got the one , there i told that i was doing some job and everyone believes me also , so whenever interacting with anyone the topic arises and find it uncomfortable to misguide myself and others again and again so i started ignoring people around me and avoided every interaction now. Its all superficial and i feel left out of the group
Can you provide a way out to this problem?
Thanks for the video
This is the exact replica of me
Looking forward to the rebuttal
Man… this one really hit me hard. By the end of it I wanted to cry. I felt like I was watching a recap of my own life over the past year and realized how much of a negative attitude I’ve adopted about everything. So well done. Thanks Joey
Dude i used to watch this guys self help non procrastination videos thinking something is wrong w me to fix. Then i got a over 100k job and im like totally normal hardworking gym when i wake up.. so really i just didnt have a job and was bored drinking. Its amazing how like u can try all u want but it still feels pointless and its so easy to just be lazy until ur gettin paid and the light switch flips and u naturally become a machine. I guess thats what he does... tries to inspire people who have nothing. It didnt work for me.. i just kept listening to the stuff thinking how good it sounded. Hah
First step to change is awareness. Good on ya for noticing your bad traits. Start working on them man one at a time at a pace your comfortable with. 💪🏼
Fr fr me slowly too…
This one hurt because It felt so relatable. I genuinely think I’m broken now.
from feeling bad to 100k wow did you actually do that@@kmlumd44
This is so powerful. The funny thing is, telling someone how TO ruin their life as if they should do it is actually more powerful and shocking than telling them how NOT to. A genius idea, presented with exceptional footage.
Not really a new idea there are tons of videos like this
Reverse psychology
this only works if the audience is mature enough
This is why good tragedies and stuff like Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul are so beloved and potent
@@ponternallol your way of response is listed in this video. How ironic.
this is refreshing to be called out like this! good way to start the new year feeling accountable

Opposite of the video:
1. Eye contact. Friendly. Open to talking to new people. Head up.
Someone people can talk to and trust.
2. Less phone.
3. Show up on time. Good time management.
4. Don’t make excuses. Own up to your mistakes. Learn from them.
5. Take responsibility. Take control. You are in charge of your own success.
6. Share the spotlight. Ask others how they’re doing and what they think. Don’t be a narcissist.
7. Talk about others in a positive light. Glass half full energy.
8. Don’t shape shift. Do what you say you will do. Keep the same energy. Be authentic. Stick to your morals, values, etc.
9. Don’t wish. Plan to set things into action. Work towards your goals. Make the change that you want to see happen. You control your own destiny. Don’t wait.
10. Grow. Engage in behaviors that make you strong. Good habits. Take the path with more resistance to grow. What’s bad for you is bad. What’s good for you is good.
11. Have hope. Never give into despair. You are worthy of redemption. Your flaws are forgivable. Accept your own forgiveness. You are capable of change. No one is fundamentally bad or good. You can change. Humans tend to act on what they believe they are. If you think you are confident, strong, worthy you will continue working towards achieving that. And having a good life. You are still young and can change for the better. There are always second chances. Try until you succeed.

@AustinNightEyes are you saying you shouldn't be doing these things?
@AustinNightEyes I think you didn't understood the video
The video presents itself in a sarcastic way like the title itself is "how to ruin your life". As the above comment that in which he says what we should do is the same thing the video is sharing with us. Just in a different way. Our minds are a little too absurd because we will do what others tell us not to. This video uses the same way. It is called reversed mentality or something like that. Thanks.
@@allaussietraveller9879 don't do what he sayin in the video
Now I don’t have to watch the video :)
It’s crazy how everyone could relate with this video. I hope everyone gets on their path and be the best they could possibly be. We got this
I can only really relate to the first two points but I’m autistic and have bad social anxiety so it’s hard to change this but I’m trying either way
People might not be as bad as I thought and I’ve met someone I really want to be friends with and he deserves great friends that’s why I’m trying to improve myself, to be great for him

For a long time, I always thought "I never planned to be here." Only now to realize that is the exact reason I am where I never wanted to be. The plan that I chose was "Not planning at all". Procrastination, destructive habits, pointless daydreaming, etc are the things that got me here. Inaction paired with negative self-talk is a genuine slow death.
So that's why sometimes I thought to myself, "I don't wanna die" even though I don't have serious health issues or anything.
I didn't realized that I am slowly dying and my inner self told me not to, wanting me to stop my way of life.
@@idont5471 Exactly, I feel you. Lets hope and WORK for better days.
an eye opening truth...
I feel you man but you can change for sure ❤❤❤❤
What got me here was 2020 lockdowns, it destroyed my business. An event that happens once every 100 years destroyed my life. Ye buddy, some of us are destined to fail and it's none of our fault. Even when you try your hardest, it's not guaranteed success. So, do whatever, life happens with or without us, so are we necessary? The harsh truth is, no.
I’m 19 and in my second year of college, i have no idea what to do in life and I feel extremely stressed knowing that I have to pick a career. I do a lot of these things; closing my body language, avoiding interaction with others, isolating myself… etc. Viewing this video is like the creator is describing me, which makes me feel horrible but it helps in making me realize that I do want to change instead of just fantasizing. Commenting this on a youtube video is easier than talking about it with friends, more specifically my 3 friends. I feel lost in life but I have many things to be grateful for; a loving family, a home.
Wow you sound like me, even being 19 and having 3 friends lol. Career stuff is so stressful. I have no idea what I’m doing or what to pick. Do you have any goals?
@@newleaf777I can relate to this aswell, being 19 almost turning 20 and having no idea of who I want to be or where I want to go in my life. I feel like everyday I waste time because I just think about what not to do and what to do and it frustrates me. I’ve never felt so socially isolated and everything for me is going downhill. In any way you can think about I have lost hope for my future. I have no one else to blame but me😢
I pass my bachelor exam when i was 29, coz since i was 19 i choose many different paths, i though i wanna study this or that, and when i fucked up the first one i found a job, simple one that gave possibility to cut of from my parents(financially). It changed me, gave me some courage that i didn't expected i had inside. Don't be too hard on yourself. I finish environmental studies and now i work as Linux admin, so as you can imagine, my 10y journey with 4 different field of studies(i finished one) didn't give me perfect job maybe i wanted at the beginning. One little lucky detail made me who im am now(at work). Do i have still problems with what i want in life? Yes. Do i struggle with some problems(bigger or smaller)? Ofc. Like many ppl. But i think i would never take this time back and i'm 37 now.
Ask questions, let yourself make mistakes.
And, if you have possibility to ask specialist, like psychologist, don't be afraid. Sometimes short conversation with "stranger" is better than with best friend, they don't know you, they don't judge, they want to help. Hope i didn't make it worse :) Have a great time, be yourself, all the best for you.
You doing great
At 19 I thought my only prospect was working retail. I left high school with no qualifications and took an entry course at community college in admin and finance. 5 years later I met my friend who got me a interview for an assistant role at an accounting firm, and I instead got offered a management role. I am now 26 and have a new born and a wife. I think the most important thing to remember is you are working to better yourself in life,not for a job. Push yourself to make friends and see family. Life happens regardless, but it's the investment in your happiness that makes it worthwhile, just be true to yourself and all will happen naturally 😊
THAT LAST POINTTT!!!! Regret is a poison. I feel like a lot of people are aware that they need to change and want to, but the feeling of guilt or being unworthy of redemption keeps you stuck. At least that's how I felt and wasn't able to put it into words. I hope this video frees a lot of people from those shackles. Wish you all well!!!
True.. I feel guilty now bc of mistakes I made and I know that I shouldn't and go on to improve myself but I just don't know how to get out of it
It is very easy for people who had it easy coming with supporting families to give life quotes and criticize the ones who are struggling in life, who had toxic and aggresive enviroment while growing up, who had people that they were calling them useless while growing up, who later on made some bad choices with friends, who got mixed up with drugs etc etc. I swear every time someone gave me life tips on how to improve yourself was a well cared and raised child with supportive family. At the slightest struggle these people feel safe and secure because they have people to ask for help, I bet 100% they wouldn't survive a day in our shoes at least we learned to be strong and deal with almost everything!
I’m about to turn 22, and this made me start crying on my couch at 2 in the morning. This video struck me so profoundly and I hate how I feel like I’m looking in a mirror on some of these things. What I hate more is that I wasn’t always like this. I watched my 49 yr old veteran dad die as a pedestrian victim in a hit and run (cold case to this day) at 18 before I graduated highschool. I was legally responsible for his DNR and I signed it. I lost a lot of my faith in the world. My anxiety shot through the roof. I don’t like who I am anymore. Im about to graduate college and I’m terrified of the future. I can’t hardly sleep at night. I really needed to see this video because I want to change. My negativity is going to destroy me and I can’t live like this forever. God
Honestly I feel like most of the things you're describing sound like the aftermath of being traumatized by you dad's passing (which is completely reasonable). Do you think it'd be possible for you to attend professional therapy? I'd say that's your best option rn.
Anyways, I wish you the best of luck on your journey!
@@richeeg3271 hey, thanks so much for responding. I’ve been in therapy since I was 9, and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. I think this vid gave me a lot of things to talk about in therapy that I wasn’t already aware of. Thank you so much for your suggestion though, therapy is awesome and I’ve made a lot of progress coping with things from my life. Thank you for the well wishes, I wish you the best in your life as well!
Not too late to rebuild your life and mindset. You can do it man. Realizing that you want to change your life is the first step. I want to do the same too. Good luck and God bless you
Just know you’re not alone out there man there’s always someone or someplace to reach out to if you need it, I felt the exact same way Watchin this I’m just so glad to know ppl know what I’m going through
You havent lived until you give your life to somebody else.
Absolutely soul crushing. Thanks man, genuinely. Deep down we're all aware of what we're doing to keep ourselves unhappy and in an endless cycle, but choose not to act. I've been dealing with the consequences of this recently but in that time, I remembered a quote from a childhood movie. I think it's something many of us have forgotten.
You are who you choose to be!
That what I thought until I did not understand we all have destiny
Ahh The Iron Giant is my favorite animated movie of all time. I was just talking about it earlier tonight with my wife!
As someone with Aspergers I had to learn how to fit into society, now I know how to fit in to a 2000s model society which has become completely useless today with everyone acting like Autistic children. If you think your life is bad...
Funny part is the dude in this video has a job and gets invited to parties so even though he is supposed to be an example of what not to do he is a lot better off than many people watching this.
@@ponternal Nah I used to be a DJ but I hate social circles, so I was living a similar life. Going to parties and hanging out with people all while carrying a fake smile and no soul. You can look like you're living your best life, all while being dead misserable inside. Now I spend most of my time on my PC and even though I'm alone, I'm happy not dealing with society nonsense.
You have no idea how hard this personally hit me. Especially the part where you bring out your phone around people to detract. Man you hit so many personal flaws and brought them to light. Thank you for helping me start my day off on a positive note and the content you bring to the world. Keep going man your changing the world one person at a time!!!

@@brianbchi I truly hope for yourself this is a troll comment. If not then I would implore you to think about those statements for yourself. I do not know how old you are so maybe this will take some time, but at least question the things you are saying. Is this way of living really making you happy, or are you consciously or unconsciously walking a path to unhappiness or at least away from happiness. Hopefully that helps and if not then that is also okay. Merry Christmas😋
Nice tips. I will make sure to apply them all in my personal life as soon as possible! Thanks for the video!
The cinematography, editing, and of course the writing in this video is incredible. People underestimate how hard shooting intentionally for B&W can be, but the lighting was on point throughout.
For real? Kevin Smith shot Clerks on B+W because it was cheaper, not for a challenge :P

I TOTALLY AGREE
I’m only 16 and may not have ‘lived life’ yet but this video made me rethink. I relate to a lot of this video but I’ve always lacked the motivation to change, always lacked the mental perseverance to be better. I spend too much time wasting away on my phone when I could be working towards my goals. I lack the spirit in myself to talk to new people and tend to either be the one in the corner, or trying to be the centre of attention. Thank you for posting this video, and thank you to whatever is out there for putting it on my TH-cam feed.
it's good to realize it young and make changes. I'm 25 and finally doing things for myself, for my future.
I am 22 now. I know how you feel. When I was 16 I was stronger than I am today. Even though I have a job, a beautiful girlfriend, and I am about to graduate college, I can relate with this video. I always had a bad “trait” as I am always late. If it would be to give you a piece of advice, i would say this:
1. ALWAYS try to solve the problems as soon as possible. Never say “I will do it tomorrow”. You won’t.
2. Never lie. If you did something wrong, just admit it, don’t try to hide it.
My bro, when i was 16 i didnt think i would have a great future, i had no friends and had issues with my parents. 22 now and i am more social then i ever was before, im living on my own with great friends around me, not a care in the world and have more confidence than Chuck norris.
Your time will come soon enough, take every little chance you get even if it makes you oncomfortabel
Hit the gym my man. Trust me, it sucks and that's the best part. Becoming used to okay with suffering opens up a whole level of self improvement and resilience. Discipline and strength.
im also a 16 yo and also in the same situation 😢
This was a masterpiece!! The acting from all the actors was very good. The way they convey emotions so subtly really makes the impact of the video more poignant. You should think about releasing a full feature film covering many different topics including what results from living your life a certain way. Thanks again.
I was literally about to comment that this video is a masterpiece (and my name is Marco as well 😅)
That was art. Good job!
Making an actual movie on this is brilliant ! Would LOVE to see it
The Stanley Parable, The Movie
Agreed. This was fantastic. Bravo!!!
I would like to say, thank you for this video. Few months ago i saw this video and from then i started working on myself.
I stopped ignoring people and let people come up to me and talk and my life has become so much better.
My life went from the silence being so loud to such a calm and peaceful life.
Isnt it weird that its easier to make your life worse than it is to improve it?
Well i mean you can break your arm but you can't unbreak your arm
It depends on how you want to be perceived. I’m not saying you should care about what others think, but rather possess a positive energy when you do have interactions for example. Being on a positive path, possessing positive energy can bring many opportunities and that’s just how society works. You’ll be depressed going against it. If you prefer to be isolated, as the video says, don’t expect the knight in shining armour to come to you.
@@GamingAndChill Society wants to program you to do whatever you feel like doing. Do as thou wilt, and wither as you are.
Yes because Satan gives us the comfort and easy way out he doesn’t seem like what he’s offering is so bad but it’s to deceive us and get us to do stuff that’ll make your life worse but it’s the easier and more fun way and to improve means we have to overcome and beat those temptations because god can change your life so making it better and getting to that point is gonna be harder with all the things Satan offers that’s so much easier and tempting
Not really. It’s harder to climb a hill than it is to lay down and wait for something to kill you
Ever since i grew up with anxiety and experienced episodes of depression as severe as major depressive disorder, i was always unsure of what habits i should be practicing in order to improve my outlook in life. Now i can clearly see which aspects that i haven't worked on through this video
As someone who grew up with the same disorders, just know that this video makes it seem much easier than it really is for those who truly suffer in this way. Overcoming genuine depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, patterns of isolation, self-hatred, etc. is a battle you will fight forever. It is a fight against forces outside your control. The battle may become easier. The battle may become harder. The battle WILL shift between the two. I continue to struggle hugely, to this very moment. The closest thing to victory is the refusal to surrender. You can only wake up and agree with yourself that you must continue to struggle, to suffer, and to keep yourself afloat in the hope that you will see better days - and you always will. If you continue to fight, then you continue to deserve those better days. To live is to struggle beautifully. Never stop fighting. The fight is all there is.
@@christiansanders1To you, and the feller above, I give you nothing but my best wishes.
Life is extremely difficult sometimes, and it can truly feel like we're dealt an unfair hand, and it may even be true.
But as long as you keep fighting, as long as you try to do right by yourself, your loved ones, and the world, you deserve better days, and eventually, you will reach them.
Just keep pushing through. The only way to win is to never give up and keep trying until things start falling into place.
One more thing, manage your expectations. You may never become the happiest person, and that's okay. You shouldn't blame yourself for unhappiness. As long as you're doing your best, you will be on a gradual climb, improving day by day, even if you sometimes stumble. During the journey, you should try to enjoy the little things in life, such as feeding some animals, or doing little things to help people in need, or just eating food you enjoy.
im glad to see some people acknowledging mental health here. sometimes i feel offput by these immediate things offered to me, because it can feel really dismissive. but we can be strong too. our fight may be paced different, but its a worthy one. i feel a bit more motivated from this.
I hope you will keep improving and be the best version of yourself.❤️
I relate with you all. Having suffered and prone to depressive episodes and anxiety, my inner voice gave the same answers of being humble while expecting, grateful of everything, enjoying little things, being more on the positive side, facing reality and accepting that life is not black or white but grey and would be complex, with many unanswered questions, hidden truths. I will need to be vigilant, struggle and always embrace and protect myself.
I will "struggle beautifully".
Hope best for us

God, this video is art. Your cinematography is nothing to scoff at, mate. You know, I sometimes worry about just how much subtlety I'm missing out on. Kind of like the anxiety of knowing you'll never read enough books. And all I can say is youve successfully induced that anxiety in me with this piece, which is a good thing. The aspect ratio immediately draws the eyes, the introduction of green into the black and white video during the sponsored section makes it really pop and stand out with a unique color profile for the shots, also obviously symbolizes health and vitality with the more layered message of "Hey, if you focus more on your health, you introduce the color green into your life" which immediately leads me to think thats the guiding light behind your color side of videos. "Living bad makes the world grey, living better introduces color back, with every facet of life being a different color introduced back into your lens".
Ugh, its just SO good! Would absolutely love a video just breaking down the artistic process for your videos.
dude, i am feeling the same, the video is no less than a masterpiece, the way he did the advertisement me fell in love with the notion of it.
Ephesians 6:10-18 says,
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.
Ive been depressed and had a mental breakdown today. I see how the first 2 and last one has been ruining me. Especially me and my social skills. No one tries to interact or talk to me anymore. I feel shameful within myself for how my life is. And i definitely feel uncomfortable sometiems so i try to occupy myself or look busy just so no one talks to me knowing i want interaction and love. I just am truly heartbroken and hard of trusting others and i feel like i blame myself for alot or am so hard on myself when i am literally all i have. This video gave me insight
You're wrong. I know it's been 2 months but I'm interacting with you. I hope I am not too late.
@@chucknutly3290 To set my demons straight
I'm trying to change and this really helped me. Thank you for this beautiful message since it's the realest one I now Know.
This is crazy. Im 18 and felt like nobody is thinking the same way as me at this age. Ive been struggling a lot with trying to motivate myself and actually do things that help me grow not just be on my phone and consumed by social media like everyone else around me. Im so glad I found someone who doesn't feel that being 18 means just partying and saying yolo and doing whatever the hell every college student does. Today was my 2nd day at a new job and a high schooler was asking me so what do you do as a college student now in the break, party and drink and smoke, I tell them no actually and they are shocked. This is the standard now and we really have to stand our grounds if we want to be different and run after our goals and dreams instead of wishing them away.
Go for it bro, aim for the stars and you might land on the moon, I believe in you!
im feeling this so hard, i'm 20 now and i am/was dealing with this endless feeling for like 3/4 years now. Ive wasted so much time being bummed that i don't have someone elses life. Since this year i have come to see that living a happy life is not based on luck and talent but on having discipline, routines and making little steps. Recently, after being free of social media for 1 year, I looked up at my homepage for 5 minutes ( that was the idea, it turned into an hour), i realized how quickly i had lost all my energy for that day. and don't let anyone tell you that you are to young for all those patterns, if you are not happy with yoyr current habis, why not change it? You can do it.
My brother you sound like me at your age.
Im almost 40.
Pls don't be like me.
Work make a family find a purpose forgive and forget always get back up as quick as possible no matter the pain dont drink dont smoke plan kids if poss save money
If you don't welp. Dont expect the world to open its hands.
You're on the right path Joy. Sounds like you're par for the course
You are so young, you have your whole life ahead of you. Change your attitude now, im 34 and this video summed up my life and it honestly made me sick to my stomach, reality punched me right in the gut. I have a lot of work to do, it's never to late to rewrite your own narrative.
This makes me realize how tough of a place I used to be in. I used to do almost all of these things as recently as last month. However, I have since put a huge amount of effort into changing myself and improving my stance on my own life. I’ve taken my path into my own hands and have expressed myself more openly and I can safely say I am a much better person now.
If you want to change, please do your best to. Your efforts will pay off.
So happy to see this comment 💖
How can i change though? I’m in highschool and I feel like I’m wasting my last years in school. I try to go out my way and interact with people but it’s just hard for me to be outgoing
@@danielmarmorstein321Dude you still have so much time high school doesn’t even matter after you graduate just graduate first trust me you’ll be fine
just keep trying. stop believing and thinking "im not outgoing" bc as he said in the vid humans act according to what they believe they are. you choose who u wanna be. if u dont wanna be like that and WORK for it, keep trying and put yourself out there, maybe not only in school. you can be whoever you wanna be if u worl for it. keep going, even if it doesnt make sense. one day, randomly, it will all click.@@danielmarmorstein321
This hits me so hard, 80% of them is so accurate to my daily lifes for over the past few years until now.. The negativity stated in this video just taught me a lesson to change myself and do the opposite of it..
If I can take the conclusion, we need to stay away from negative thought as far as we can
The most uncomfortable 5 minutes ever , because it resonates.
Mate! For me, from a filmmaking standpoint, this is the best video you've ever made - and that was a high bar to beat! You can tell you really put a lot of hard work into this and it definitely paid off. Nice one man 👌🏼
Jesus is LORD!!
@@ItWontLetMePutMyName259 God has no children nor partners nor is there anything that has any resemblance to Him. 'Isa (Jesus), peace be upon him, was no more than a messenger, who spread the same message as all other prophets, worship God alone with no partners. Associating anything with Him is the greatest sin. I invite you to Islam to submit to the One God and devout your life in obeying and pleasing Him alone.
First time coming across this channel, really loved this argument format. It’s easy to let things like what was mentioned in this video just happen, but when you hear them phrased as firm recommendations, something about the thought process totally changes to “Uhh no, that’s ridiculous!” That’s exactly the point, and I love how this video brought that reaction out of me and made me reflect on some of these tendencies that I have. Thank you for sharing.
It caught me off guard how... similar this feels to myself. This video made me think on how I act and my habits, opening my eyes to the truth of my actions. Thank you for making this video, and I hope this recommended to other people to see what not to do.
I feel like I've been stuck in place for so many years, following all of these steps even at a social outing just this evening. Tomorrow I'm going to wake up and chose to do better. Amazing video.
I’m 19 years old. I took a gap year from high school and have 5 months left until the summer. I still haven’t looked for any colleges and do almost everything in this video. I’m the oldest sibling out of six, I don’t want to be a bad example. I want to make a fix, but am so mentally drained from working retail fulltime that I have no motivation to ever do anything and simply just daydream. I wonder if it’s too late for me, but I don’t think it is. It’s still scary to think about. Every year I seem to mature and become wiser and more sour towards my past self. This will be the year that I finally push myself into the right direction. Godspeed, guys. We are all in this very confusing world together.
Good luck man
Good luck bro, honestly same situation but without the retailing job that makes my day at least somewhat productive lol
Hello fellow 19 yr old from some other part of the world... I hope it gets better for you brother 😊
You’re 19 bro. It’s not even close to too late. Just keep your head up and keep pushing. You got this and I know you know that ❤
Simple be creative. Try and keep a part of child you inside, because once your creativity dies then so does your soul.
What a perfect approach. In a world full of "how to make your life better" videos, it's time for some reality check. Often we find ourselves doing things out of habit and not realizing they are fucking up our lives but we're too stubborn and self absorbed to recognize them. Thank you for this perfect video.
Thank you. Just to add to this motivational ride, nothing is ever too late to change. Literally last week I decided to change before the new year starts (It’s December), and just like that, I don’t smoke anymore and I’ve pushed myself to meet up events after a long isolation I blamed ‘trauma’ for. I just poured out my glass of wine after this video. I have to inspire myself if I want to inspire othwrs.
I've concluded our lack of passion for life comes with a lack of change. Since change is a constant of the universe it must be accepted and practiced upon, change is about flexibility as Bruce Lee said the rigid tree cannot handle the storm as well as the flexible one.
Keep it up bro, you can do this. I need to work on 2 of these steps. Also need to quit smoking. All to come for the new year.
It's been months since this video was posted but my man... This video just described my life. Always thinking things aren't my fault even when i know they are. Wishing my world to be different when i'm the one who's supposed to make it different... I've realized how negative i've been looking at things and how badly i've treated myself and the others around me. But despite all, i'm determined to change. I don't want to stay like this. I want to be better and act better.
I want to change.
Casually stumbled upon this video during my daily yt scrolling due to being homestuck for a surgery. I admit that it was really hard to watch it to the point I had to pause the video more than once - the reason: it called me out in such a way that made me wake up from my current slumber. Of course I am aware from a long time that this behavior has already damaged my social skills, but the worst thing is that I keep blaming my past traumas for that instead of my cowardice and lack of will. Using them as a shield to protect myself from further harm at the price of being considered as a strange, if not crazy, outcast... And the fact that I'm a procrastinator doesn't help at all. Thank you for this video. Not sure if I'll be able to change for the better, but I sincerely want to try again - especially now that there will be some important changes in my life.
Don't worry you can change, never give up 😊
The key takeaways; be more open to public interaction, be early to events, take responsibility for your actions, success won’t happen without planting seeds, don’t seek attention or validation, be authentic & honest, don’t let your vices take over, and never give up.
@@christiank7837 What events?
Oh...
@@christiank7837"take responsibility" is such a bullshit retard statement. If traffic causes me to be late because someone gets in a crash its not my fault, if i want to kill myself because of my depression its not my fault. This guy described introverts and autistic people, acting like any of what he said is wrong.
You make it sound like it's easy - ruining your life - but it's a slow process. I've been working on it for years and I still haven't achieved my full misery potential. But thanks to your tips I'm just a bit closer to my goal.
@@K-reami lost my job, my 17 years old died, my 15 years old dog died, my 5 years girlfriend broke with me, and the cat i addopted 3 years ago just dissapeared.
You really think making eye contact with people would help with any of those?
You think if you dont look at your phone anymore you will prevent your mother to get diagnosed terminal cancer? For example?
Life is much more deeper than that, there has nothing to see with how early you arrive work or how late, how much you look at your phone or how much you say hello to people.
Life will strike, and strikes will be hard as motherfucking fuck, the strikes may be several and may stack, and you may fall in a state you cant come back from, because when you face real pain, and real depression, there is no come back.
Sometimes pain is the only thing that remains, so you dont want to let it go.

@@sandra4130 No. I shall continue my path of misery, my sacred journey into the abyss, and not a single comment reply can stop me.
I can appreciate your trolling sarcasm, gave me a chuckle…well done! 👏
Wow… This was certainly some kind of a lightening struck. I’ve “ticked” nearly every point from noticing flaws in people and focusing on them to taking the phone out to avoid any communication.
For the past year and college application process I’ve tried to convince myself of how great, and worthy, and genius I am, I forgot about what a person I’m turning into. I haven’t done anything to fix this, I was, again, just constantly finding excuses. I was just “discussing other’s flaws, to understand what to do with them” (I haven’t done anything except for discussing). I was just “realizing the advantages of doing something this way”, even though I’ve been criticizing them.
Thank you for this clear and bold sign, a final push and alarm that something is going the wrong way.
I hope that this first comment in social media in the past few years will be a step in the right direction.
Thank you.
I'm 27 and I used to tick the boxes of 1 through 12, except 6 and 8. I literally ruined my life. This video is 100% accurate. Don't make the same mistakes. Work on your issues, one by one. You still have time to turn it around.
Powerful. I advocate for this to be shown everywhere, especially to young men, and especially in relation to...relationships and career. It's never too late to give up, the worse thing you do is nothing at all. Something, is better than nothing. Thank you for this, I hope it continues to resonate.
As a student, watching your videos has made me much more mindful of what I'm doing each and every minute of the day.
Thanks a lot man!!
Dude i used to watch this guys self help non procrastination videos thinking something is wrong w me to fix. Then i got a over 100k job and im like totally normal hardworking gym when i wake up.. so really i just didnt have a job and was bored drinking. Its amazing how like u can try all u want but it still feels pointless and its so easy to just be lazy until ur gettin paid and the light switch flips and u naturally become a machine. I guess thats what he does... tries to inspire people who have nothing. It didnt work for me.. i just kept listening to the stuff thinking how good it sounded. Hah

@@60D_wwbros on the last step💀
For those who are self-improvement consoomers
#8 really hit me hard. I realize that I am a complex person, not because I examined myself deeply, but because I keep adding more things to examine about myself. The ego of me trying to validate myself rather than going out and actually doing something has caused me to become so numb to everything. My heart has hardened due to this information overload and sensory overload. If I focus on simplifying myself in morals, character, and personality, I could actually make decisions that are based on a solid, unshakeable foundation, rather than my flacid character. This video helped me realize that consuming so much of this content made me think in so many ways, and yet I am directed into the astray path. Conviction allows you to go farther in life, even if those presumptions might become false in the future. I am in the path of indecision, and because of my complexity of so many different perspectives, I think in ways irrational to myself and to my fellow humans.
I find this to be an extremely fascinating explanation! Your point about over consumption leading to irrational decisions is soo true
i needed to read this so thank you for sharing your insight! i’d honestly say i’ve been addicted to self improvement and over analysis for awhile now. i never considered that the amount i watch, read, talk about, etc could actually be hurting me more than improving. thank you again for talking about this!
Cringe
yes i've realized this recently too. overthinking everything has always seemed like the rational thing to do because, you know, the more you think about something the better decisions you'll make, right? no, not really because after a certain point, it just leads you to not make *any* decisions at all because your overthinking keeps coming up with reasons why your choice isn't the perfect one. i realized i'm better off doing *something* even if it's not THE ultimate best decision ever, rather than stand there paralyzed by all the information i consume and the knowledge that nothing i'll ever do will be perfect.
I am completely serious when I say that this comment may have just saved the direction of my life.
As a person who ruined his life in the last 8 years, I concur. I did all these things. And yes, I am ruined. I still have many things to be grateful for.
I have developed gratitude as a religion. Stopped making excuses. Now, everything in my personal and professional life, it is my personal responsibility.
Hopefully, I will prosper in the next 8 years.
This is a huge eye opener. I’m 34 years old. I’ve been going through it. Last year almost lost my older brother twice also have been in a funk since my separation from my wife a few years ago. This video literally had me think of things subconsciously I’ve been putting in my head. I need to change and be the best version of myself that I know I’m capable of being.
You've got this Raphael I believe in you
Man,
I'm 33...never had a wife, no kids, got laid off, went to rehab, moved back in with parents one who has a multipersonailty disorder, lost my car and all else. I'm just about homeless without a job. I stillblamemy dad for how my life turned out because I asked him to sign for me at 17 to join the military. He said no and that I'd go crazy......
I'm trying. We can always be in a worse position. Life is tough. You'll make it to where you want to be.
May God bless you!
If all it took was a stupid video on TH-cam to turn you around, you never had a problem. I’m 34 the end rings true for us
I'm rooting for you Raphael! Enjoy the ride
I love watching videos with the reverse effect, where instead of being shown and told, "How things should be done", you're shown, "How it goes if you leave it the way it is", and you can learn from other people's mistakes while really understanding why. That's awesome! Thanks for the video!
I like envisioning about the opposites while watching these videos and thinking about where I stand in the different areas.
Absolutely. It's about showing the "heaven" if you do xyz, and showing the "hell" (as this video does) if you don't. Some will be more motivated by the former, others by the latter
@@piquedcommenter6252 You're right. The two options are not mutually exclusive, and working together create the very effect where you actually realise (not just think you realise, but you do realise) that maybe your behaviour is worth changing. In the first case/heaven, when you're told how to do things, you don't always understand the point, and in the second case/hell, when you're shown the consequences, you probably won't understand what happened. Balance is important.
@@olbld 🎯💯
I was falling on my face in the mud. Then the mud turned into a puddle. But I could not even realise that it was neither mud nor a puddle, but something deeper, and I could not realise how deep I could go. No one around me could tell me that there was something wrong with me until I was in my new environment. In my previous environment my behaviour was natural and approved of. I noticed that my new acquaintances acted with me as if we were F.R.I.E.N.D.S., and it was kind of nice in a way.
I've seen many videos that tell you how to live your life, how to become more friendly, less rude, and just plain nice (which is still no small thing), but it wasn't until I watched the reverse position videos that show you step by step "how to slide into the abyss" that I finally put together the puzzle, "so that's the point". Only then I realised where I really am, I know where to go, backwards and forwards, and now I am looking for where the roads to the left/right can lead, in order to properly adapt myself to new conditions without breaking myself, while keeping my personality intact and unharmed.
I needed this. I clicked into this thinking that I knew better than this, but no. Some parts where just spot on with how I've been after graduating from school. I got a life ahead of me, but I feel stumped by the lack of direction and quidance where to go from now. Nothing is going to happen, if I just crawl in my own space and insecurities.
This year has gone like a flash, I didn't do anything new, I haven't grown or experienced anything, just me and my own incompetence.
This was a wake up call to try and take action on my own direction again. Even an attempt is going to be better than just, continuing on like *this.*
So, thank you.
i’ve been dealing a lot with social anxiety and isolation but fortunately never make conversation about myself, come late, or blame others for my problems. trying to turn my life around. hopefully it’ll get better soon

Social anxiety is ruining my life
Same here
I start sweating when I'm in front of people or at a restaurant for example..
You’ve probably heard this before but the key is just embracing it. By that I mean constantly exposing yourself to situations you feel uncomfortable in. Preferably start in a place where you are semi-comfortable. For example, into video games? Go to a convention with like minded people and talk about them. Interested in books? Book club or the library. I’ve been there, as a young man I got a job at a popular bar because I knew the amount of social repetitions I would get would make me less uncomfortable. It works. And it sucks at first, but I promise you will get better at. Tell stories, multiple times. Sounds weird but the more you tell a story, the better you will get at telling that story, where you could add humor for example, or a pause to enunciate something. It just takes practice. Every master was once a novice. Best of luck to whoever reads this comment. You got this.

Believe me, you're not alone. I'm 32 and I'm overweight. I did some shitty things out of naivety at my current workplace that I'm now regretting and will bite me in the ass in the near future. I don't have my own place, my own car. Heck I don't even have savings yet. I finished college yet I'm not working in that field. I earn minimum wage. I'm lost and I need to take actions for all the wrongdoings I did these past years (the ones that cannot be solved are another story). I did all the mistakes again and again which is idiocy.

Coming from experience doing most of these things, this is 100% how you ruin your life, and it’s a slow and painful process that feels like when an inexperienced hunter shoots a deer wrong, and has to gather up all the bits of their courage just to clumsily and hesitatingly finish it off, putting it in more pain than it already is. I wanna see the next video :)

I've never watched this video before, this is the first time im watching in. And it's so upsetting how I used to do all of these things before, I knew what I was doing wasn't right, I didn't experience the last one. Thanks to the few friends I had before they helped me go through this depressing chapter of my lfie, and believe that everyone can start over again, that there is still hope. To this day I've made a lot of changes on my live, and im grateful to say that they have worked, I have very trustworthy friends, a person that I loved, and I even begain to take care of myself.

I can't make anything worth out of this. I don't have a path to follow. Change? change how? change *to* WHAT?
sigh, I give up man, I give up. I can't do this
Damn, what a tremendous video. Going to rewatch this periodically as I try to piece myself back together. I'm 25, unemployed, running out of money, living at home, and losing faith in myself. But I'm not done yet. God bless everybody reading this!
Dude i used to watch this guys self help non procrastination videos thinking something is wrong w me to fix. Then i got a over 100k job and im like totally normal hardworking gym when i wake up.. so really i just didnt have a job and was bored drinking. Its amazing how like u can try all u want but it still feels pointless and its so easy to just be lazy until ur gettin paid and the light switch flips and u naturally become a machine. I guess thats what he does... tries to inspire people who have nothing. It didnt work for me.. i just kept listening to the stuff thinking how good it sounded. Hah
You'll make it man. Push yourself to do anything you can even if it is a crappy job like dishwashing or whatever because thats the first point towards growth. Work hard and press in to your strengths and turn them into things you can monetize. You can do it. If you do this your life will change for the better.
@@kmlumd44how’d you do it? School?
hey don't worry. I live at home too.
@NomadZeroOne thank you. I'm trying to find another job currently. I was selling Nissan's but that didn't really work out. Here's hoping I find something solid 🙏🏻
Nobody talks about how well these videos are filmed and edited. This is easily one of the best videos on this website
The older ones you did like this a few years back is one of the main reasons I started working on myself. I remember them hitting me right in the feels because I could relate to everything you were saying. Can't say the same about this one. Changed a lot since then and still got a lot to work on. Thanks for everything man ❤️
What a brilliant, powerful, amazing message. Such a different perspective by reversing it, but so potent in how it wakes you up. Thank you for this. A masterpiece.
Thank you!!
This video is great.
The sponsor really speaks to my soul, because it's right.
I don't waste enough money, I don't consume enough ads, and I've convinced myself that my life is good without unnecessary products.
Time to make changes happen, and drive myself into dept!
I hate how bad i can relate to most of these ideas, but i love the fact that this was made to actually make us think about these ideas and what we are actually doing at this time. Thanks for this video, it might have been the one that i needed pretty badly for a while, especially on the "social anxiety" part, where i mostly stay the same because i always have been, so why change, right? That idea hit pretty hard to give thoughts about why i am doing that and not actively trying to improve myself. This video was all that I needed for this sequence in my life.
Its not ur fault
it is the world that made us act this way
and thats the only way to survive
otherwise ull let people get through u
dont hate that u can relate, love that you understand.
@@oo-oi5symmmm thats a good one
Yeah . Great video on all the bad things and surprisingly it's completely accurate. The most I have seen so far.
This video was beautifully written and filmed. It makes me think how many times I may have done these things or surrounded myself with negative energy and people. It’s a perfect “what not to do” life manual.
As a master student in the university where I got my bachelor's degree two months before starting master, it really feels like I had my shot and it's over. Friends at my age started to have their jobs and moving on different paths while newer faces who are bachelor students already have their friendship groups and relationships. Despite being 25, I feel like a dinasour walking in the campus. I have few friends, never dated someone and I can neither find a professional job despite applying everywhere nor earn money (financially dependent on my family).
So I'm stuck in a circle where I constantly eat, go to bars and cafes to find a familiar face, get annoyed at any noise, resent at random couples and groups I've never known, and finish my school works on deadlines. Even if I finish my master thesis, I am so hopeless about what will come after. So, the circle continues. No improvement, no end, just a long-term nihilism with short-term gains.
Why don’t you start by drawing or writing out a list of what you want your life to look like. What would be the most perfect life for you? Write that out and hang it on your wall next to bed. Make it the first thing you see everyday
@@chickennugget3392this is a great start I hope the commenter tries this.
This would have been me if I didn't play guitar. The only reason I have friends is because someone walked up to me while I played guitar on a bench at campus. Never spoke to anyone in my classes that much. Find a socially powerful hobby or something. Something you can get good at and people will just gravitate towards you.
Study stoicism
You're never without choices. You're in charge of your life. 25 is a full fledged adult. If you don't enjoy your school, change it. Want to meet someone? Try dating online. Go volunteer somewhere and meet friends. 25 is too young to not embrace life.
This video has made me realise that I act in a lot of these ways and that whilst some of these are understandable given my depression and suspected ASD, there are still some that I can work on to change for the better.
It was painfully real. I'm 21 now, and it's my second year at the university. When I was graduating from high school last year, I had everything what I wanted when I was younger. I had friends, bros, and a beautiful girlfriend. Then, I got somehow TOO comfortable with my life. I took everything for granted, which was the biggest mistake I've ever made. I was getting more and more lazy, unpredictable and remiss. This was at the summer of 2022. Later, I got more and more problems, my relationship started to decline. Later this year, in the end of may, we broke up. Our breakup was not that smooth, it was quite complicated. To sum up, I lost my dignity, lost some of my friends, my girlfriend, and got some enemies. I lost almost everything what I built up in the last 4 years. This was a lesson what I had to learn, now I am building back myself from scratch. Don't take nothing for granted guys... And most important, always be honest and fair, respect your friends and your loved ones.
What I love most about this video is that it appears you, the content creator, have been through most of it. Perhaps many of us watching this video have or will struggle with our character at some point. The fact we are watching this video shows we are in the conscious incompetence stage, meaning you are aware you are doing something wrong.
this!!
The truth which everyone should know about 👉The Connections (2021) [short documentary]💖
totally !! some of us r still young & recently starting to go out more often, so its good to learn.
Most of us actually just scrolled into this, watched because it sounded interested, and scrolled to the next interesting video. It's not all about you.
@@frank-the-tank75so the comment wasn’t directed at you. Be better?
I am changing it all. Thank you for the vid, it's eye opening to all the work ahead of me for the remainder of my life. I am seeking a 100% transformation
This video felt like it was describing me. I feel so lonely, but im too anxious about being myself to do anything about it. I feel broken beyond repair, and I just want to fix myself. Im not sure how. Ive seen a million different pieces of advices, ive tried as many as I can. Im just stuck in this loop of bitterness and a constant need for attention and validation. I dont feel like I have anyone to talk to. I hate this feeling. I feel like im worth nothing compared to the people around me, that I'll never be good enough. All I do is get swept in big dreams, but no matter how hard I try I just cant achieve them. Im so sorry guys. To everyone who identified with this video, I hope you're doing okay. I have faith in you.
me to man me to.
It is always hard to get out of our comfort zone, I'm going through the same but I really promise at some point it gets better, I really hope you find your way
I have faith in you too. Most of the thoughts you're having are pretty normal, and mostly not true. Look for evidence in your life that the opposite of those things is true. Just start with one. I hope you have a good day.
Joey I have to say you really emphasize the "create" in "creator". I've honestly seen only a few other videos on TH-cam that so fluidly combine elegantly worded, actionable advice with a uniquely creative presentation format.
You've very quickly evolved from
"advice-giving self-help guy" to "artistically impactful masterpiece guy".
You truly are changing people's lives for the better❤
This was great. I'm in a bad phase in my life and this help me out to even deep sadness. Thank u god and universe.
I'm at 2:42 and I'm already in tears. I have social anxiety and something I could blame on for but he's right. Blaming everything on it isn't right. I still had control of my life, all I had to was push myself into uncomfortable situations little by little but I failed but I'll start owning the blame from now on. While social anxiety did play a role, I failed to put the most minimum amount of effort everyday that would've made a huge difference over time. Now, let me continue with the video, even though it's really hurtful to go through.
Alright, after that, it stopped being about me altogether so it was totally easy to watch through. But I'll still download this video and watch it at appropriate times. I'm still 18, so I can still improve my life and I'll certainly try my hardest at it.
Thank you for reading.
If really feels like yourself had to go through darkest lows to know all of this. Whether this was made out of own experience or deliberate psychological and philosophical research, this video is a masterpiece of its time and deservers much more recognition. This is our time's picasso painting.
Thank you so much for this video! I will show this video to my Narcissistic dad and maby he will notice that most of the steps (besides the phone thing) apply to him.
I'm 18 years old atm and all my life until now I had to suffer under his narcissistic behaviour. And now he is using excuses like "it was all my mothers fault" and how "he is always seen as the bad person although he did everything just for us to be happy" and so on... I can't take any of this serious because it's just not the truth. It's gotten to a point now where every time we have an argument, ever so small, he threatens me to leave home. I mean, yes I'm 18 years old, but I would like to finish school first and I'm everything but a plague here at home (in my and my brothers eyes at least...). There is no logical reason for him to get me to move out. He says I should be thankful for all he did in my favor and that I own him a lot but that's also just not true. I didn't do anything bad or so. And I didn't decide to be born either. Everything he did in my favor is something you would expect from a father and less.
How'd it go?
I’m 21 years old, and I have no idea what im doing with my life. I find myself wasting so much time wishing for a perfect life instead of pursing something that could make me really happy. It feels like I’m my own worst enemy, and I feel like I’m destined to become a failure. But this video changed my perspective, and made me realize that maybe I need to forgive myself for feeling these things. Maybe by forgiving myself, I can finally break some of these habits. Thank you, Joey.
I'm 21 i feel same😢
I did an apprenticeship aged 16.😊 No time too waste. 😊
good luck on breaking those habits, and just know, you CAN do it! Best of luck and wishes, you got this :)
@@moonlightbirdy thank you!!
And it's even more difficult when you can't think of anything to pursue...
3 months ago I found this video. Ive watched it almost every week just to remind myself how being caught up in a web of self crippling patterns is unhealthy. Thank you for not only making this video it challenges me to become a better human being
Like many people, I feel like somebody just described me, to me, almost every point here is what I essentially boiled my life down to, especially the last one. While I don't wish, I sure do pray, albeit for death in order to relieve me of my "suffering", or for others to forget me for I feel like I am not worth it. I put the word suffering into quotation marks, because at this point I am not sure what I am experiencing or whatever that I'm feeling is not real. I love this video.
Despite often feeling disheartened because I realize I’m making the mistakes your videos advise against, I continue watching them for their invaluable insights and the positive impact they’ve had on my mental and physical well-being, as well as my overall lifestyle. Joey, you might not see this, but I want to express my deep gratitude for the guidance and hope you’ve provided me over the years.

@@kmlumd44then why are you here?
@@ramdjow2882 and he keeps spamming this in the replies on a lot of comments.
honestly a good fix for me was just talking to people, if your on a train, in the elevator work or school anywhere really. just spark up a convo with someone else who is doing nothing atm. it’s fun and it’ll help you grow hopefully :)
@@BoostBlix yeah I’ve always been really shy so I’m sure that would help quite a bit
Thank you, genuinely. Thank you so much.
This video popped up in my recommended when I really needed it. I really needed that wake-up call, honestly.
I’m fifteen years old - a freshman in high school. Ever since quarantine, I’ve suffered from a major depressive disorder (diagnosed). During quarantine, my previously very caring parents slipped into their own depression and were unable to take care of me. I became dependent on technology, and four years later it’s still hard to break away.
My dad died back in August, and my mom was hospitalized several times for the abuse of prescription drugs. It’s been rough. Often, I do wish my circumstances were different. I wish quarantine never happened, I wish my parents weren’t mentally ill, I wish my dad were still alive. But recently, I realized that wishing isn’t going to do anything.
I’ve been wasting my life as a result of depression, often just staying in bed and doing nothing, neglecting basic self care in the process. It’s not fun. It doesn’t make me happy. But it’s so much easier than getting up and doing something I might actually enjoy. And that’s something I need to change. No matter how much I wish, my happiness isn’t going to come to me on a silver platter. I’ve been dealt a shitty hand, sure, but I have to find a way to deal with it. Letting my life waste away as I wish for something that won’t ever come true isn’t the way.
Recently, I’ve been taking steps to improve myself. Deleting all social media (save for TH-cam on Safari) off my phone, spending more time with my mother (who is no longer hospitalized), cooking actual meals, partaking in my hobbies, etc. It’s been… maybe two weeks since I started doing this. and I’m already starting to see some improvements. Of course, it’s still very difficult. Like I’m facing symptoms of withdrawal since I decided to stop doing nothing. Sometimes, it’s hard for me to believe that I can change and make a better life for myself. Truth is, I can. I know I’m still very young, and I know I still have a lot of time left in this world. It’s a process - one that might take a while. I’ll have to heal several scars in my emotional state that have been neglected for years. But I have hope. There’s at least a part of me that believes everything is going to be okay.
I made this comment to share my story, and to remind whoever reads it that things can get better. Even if you’re thirty years older than me, it’s not too late to change. If I can make an effort to improve myself, so can you.
Good luck out there. I wish whoever reading this the best of luck. You’ll find your happiness, as long as you keep making the effort. It’ll be a difficult journey, but it’ll be worth it. While we may be strangers on the internet, I hope that we can take our respective journeys knowing that we are not the only ones. We’ve all got this!
You’re very self-aware which is a good thing I’m 20 years old, And I can relate to your story as well. I really struggle with Socializing I have Social Anxiety. It’s definitely hard for me to step out of my bubble, and meet new people but at the same time it’s a gift and curse. Because it taught me how to be independent and not feeling the need to constantly surround myself. With people to fill the void, it’s a big difference between being alone and being lonely I admit I do feel lonely at times, but that’s one area of my life I’m currently struggling with that is taking a toll, on my mental state.
freshman year was where it all went down hill for me. i was a smart kid who couldve done whatever i wanted, but i came depenant on substances and stopped giving a fuck. got hiigh and slep through school, now i have a 2.6 gpa. im in my junior year now and im scared because i wanna move out when im 18 (my home life is shit like yours) but how the hell is a 2.6 gpa fuck up gonna have a sucessful life and take care of herself?
i find myself wishing i had just been like everyone else and did well in school, cuz my future would be a given, but i guess life had other plans. i dont regret shit, im not like anyone else and im truly one of a kind, but sometimes i really wanna kms over ts. im turning to art, music and literature, the only things that kept me comfort in the past, and hopefully they'll comfort me in my future. im notsaying dont do drugs, im not syaing give school everything you have, just be concious of every descision you make. because theyre not small and meaningless, they add up and fuck you in the ass. anyway, good luck charlie.
29 turning 30 this year, and I’ve never stopped feeling this way since I was about your age. I let relationships go, with myself and others. I’m just now working out getting help and being better. I amend you and I know you are capable of great things solely from your post. You have a great head on your shoulders. I’m very sorry for your loss and it’ll never truly get easier, I won’t lie to you. But you have the recipe for success and as long. As you keep trying everyday, you’ll always do and be better. Even if you take a step back, that’s completely fine and normal. Shake it off and keep going. I promise you, you’re right on track and even as a stranger, I’m very proud of you. Take care of yourself and your family. You deserve the best, treat yourself well and you will love a fruitful life. Hydrate often, eat healthy foods but don’t forget to enjoy life and splurge once in while. It’s not wrong for you to love yourself.
this was actually eye opening, its my first time watching anything like this and it definitely made me aware of kf myself damn
The cinematography and effort put into this video is seriously underappreciated, instant inspiration on my end, first video in a while that made me comment. Great Video Joey.
If watching this gives you an uneasy feeling, your stomach cramps up a little, a slight nausea builds up, together with your eyes starting to water a bit and deep sadness lies over you..., you know, you've done everything right. Exactly right.
And now it's time to try something new. Something opposite, than what you're used to.
Try something wrong. Please, try something wrong.
Hugs and love to all of you, especially to those, who are struggling.
Yes the wrong one is needed for me
How can I change life if MY SMALL PENIS RUINS MY LIFE i can't change it i'm 35 single and although rich and funny i have money nothing else i have anxiety have no show and tell. And I can't change my willy it cuts my soul 😮 what would u do if you had a small penis 😢😢😢
